US House backs $95 billion budget plan with Iran war funds
What's next: The 216-214 measure goes to the Senate, where Republicans would need it to unlock a simple-majority path later this summer.
The House approved a $95 billion budget framework on July 22 that would steer most of the money to military and intelligence operations tied to the war against Iran, while also funding domestic Republican priorities. The measure passed 216-214 and now moves to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain. It sets aside $73 billion for the armed forces and intelligence agencies, $12 billion for farmers hit by President Donald Trump's trade war, and $10 billion for election-related programs linked to his push for new nationwide voting restrictions. If the Senate signs off, House Republicans could later write detailed legislation and try to pass it under expedited budget rules that avoid the usual 60-vote hurdle.
