House Republicans advanced a budget resolution on July 22, 2026, by a 216-214 party-line vote, providing reconciliation instructions to committees for roughly $95 billion in new spending focused on defense and intelligence amid the Iran conflict, agriculture aid, and implementation of voting eligibility measures from the SAVE America Act. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has delayed action on the blueprint, treating it as a potential backup vehicle ahead of the September 30 fiscal year-end funding deadline rather than moving it immediately. Internal GOP divisions persist over the absence of spending offsets, with some fiscal conservatives opposing the package and the narrow House majority requiring near-unanimous support for any final bill. Committee reporting deadlines fall on September 11 if the budget resolution clears both chambers, while the approaching November midterms further compress the legislative calendar for additional reconciliation legislation.
