What happened
The House adopted a GOP budget blueprint, 216-214, to prepare a reconciliation package with up to $95 billion for the Iran war, farm aid and election measures tied to President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act. The resolution instructs committees to write the legislation and is designed to avoid a Senate filibuster, but Senate Republicans have not embraced the House plan. Earlier, the House passed a $1.15 trillion defense authorization bill, 216-212, including expanded U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation, a proposed Department of Defense renaming and 5% to 7% service-member pay raises. Republicans are pursuing the funding as polls show declining support for the Iran war, including among Trump-aligned voters.
