A House procedural vote advanced a $95 billion Republican budget plan carrying SAVE Act election measures, Iran war funding and farm aid, ahead of a Wednesday vote on the broader budget framework.
President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to support the budget resolution this week, framing it as the first step toward advancing the SAVE America Act agenda. The House then approved a key procedural step Tuesday for a $95 billion budget package that includes about $10 billion for states to implement voter ID laws and proof-of-citizenship requirements in voter registration, along with $73 billion for the U.S. war against Iran and $12 billion in aid for American farmers. Speaker Mike Johnson's strategy would move the election-related provisions through budget reconciliation, a process that can bypass a Senate filibuster if Republicans maintain enough support, though the measure still faces opposition from Democrats and some GOP fiscal hawks concerned about limited spending cuts.
