House GOP advances $95 billion plan to fund Iran war and SAVE America Act
House Republicans utilize budget reconciliation to approve $95 billion package for Iran war, Pentagon, and farm aid, advancing Trump's agenda.
- On Wednesday, the House adopted a $95 billion budget proposal by a 216-214 vote, with all Democrats opposed to the Republican-only measure aimed at funding the Iran war and President Donald Trump's priorities.
- Speaker Mike Johnson is using the budget reconciliation process to bypass the Senate filibuster, addressing funding pressures after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reported the Pentagon is running short of cash despite a $150 billion allotment last year.
- The package allocates $60 billion for the Pentagon, $13 billion for national security, $12 billion for farmers, and $10 billion for voting law changes aligned with the SAVE America Act. Opponents warn proof-of-citizenship rules could disenfranchise eligible Americans.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaled he may hold the House resolution as a potential fallback to keep government funded if negotiations fail, though internal GOP division over missing budget offsets complicates passage.
- With current funds expiring Sept 30, Republicans navigate conflicting spending demands as some lawmakers argue Congress needs a "much higher level of involvement" in ending the war before the midterm elections.
