By Lisa Mascaro and Kathleen Ronayne THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Two House Republican leaders are backing President Donald Trump’s proposed Space Force, but key Republicans in the Senate aren’t sold on the idea, setting up a debate over establishing and paying for a new branch of the military. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California told The Associated Press the proposal is a “smart way” to address growing investments by China and others in space. “We’d support that,” McCarthy said in a brief interview in Sacramento, California. GOP Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 3 House Republican, also backs Tampa Bay Trump’s plan, an aide said Thursday.
