Republicans on Friday were calling for the Biden administration to do more to deal with the continued presence of a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. interior.

Wisconsin Republicans have begun circulating legislation to specify which crimes would be affected by a proposed constitutional amendment to tighten bail restrictions.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called out China after a surveillance balloon was spotted over the northern United States, calling it an “irresponsible act."

Missouri GOP Gov. Mike Parson says he has had “zero communication” with the Biden administration about a suspected Chinese spy balloon reportedly hovering over his state.

Montana leaders are questioning why the Pentagon did not take action to remove a suspected Chinese spy balloon from American airspace while it was in a sparsely populated area.

Texas lawmakers say the federal government should reimburse states and communities for the money they've spent on the federal priority of securing the border.

The U.S. has the legal right to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon hovering over Montana, according to legal and national security experts reached by Fox News Digital.

The White House said President Biden followed "strong" recommendations from defense officials not to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon due to safety to people on the ground, but is keeping "all options on the table."
