House Republicans Push $95 Billion Package for the Iran War and Trump's Priorities
The measure would advance a 1.15-trillion-dollar defense bill, a stopgap funding plan and a budget blueprint tied to Trump priorities.
- On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on a $1.15 trillion legislative package including a defense policy bill, stopgap funding measure, and $95 billion budget blueprint to fund President Donald Trump's priorities.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson is utilizing the budget reconciliation process to bypass Senate filibusters, aiming to advance the party's agenda despite a narrow majority that has repeatedly blocked legislation in recent weeks.
- The budget blueprint allocates $60 billion for defense, $13 billion for intelligence, and $10 billion for voter ID restrictions, requiring proof of citizenship for registration under the SAVE America Act.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune remains noncommittal on the House package, citing internal GOP divisions as Congress faces an October 1 deadline for fiscal year 2027 funding to avert a potential government shutdown.
- Lawmakers aim to complete this agenda before departing Washington on Thursday for a five-week August break, as Republicans and Democrats vie for control of Congress in the final two years of Trump's presidency.
