GOP $95 Billion Plan
House Republicans advance a major package mixing war aid, farm aid and election changes.
Summary
House Republicans unveiled a $95 billion budget resolution on July 15 to advance a third reconciliation bill funding Pentagon needs tied to the Iran war, farm aid and election-law changes without Democratic votes. The blueprint allocates $73 billion for defense and includes money for state implementation of voter ID requirements, while tying the package to President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act. Using reconciliation would bypass a Senate filibuster, but identical House and Senate resolutions must pass before committees can write the bill. The plan includes no spending offsets, leaving it exposed to opposition from fiscal conservatives and Democrats.
