House Republicans introduced a $95 billion budget resolution to increase defense spending for the Iran conflict, expand farm aid and impose stricter voter registration rules. The bill is a scaled‑down version of an earlier proposal and includes no spending offsets, reflecting efforts to address conservative concerns over deficits while advancing priorities linked to Donald Trump’s agenda.

House Speaker Mike Johnson aims to unify Republicans and advance stalled legislative priorities after internal divisions halted votes on spending and veterans’ measures. Donald Trump’s request for $87.6 billion in new funding, mostly for the conflict with Iran, further expanded Congress’s workload heading into the fall elections.
