House Republicans released a budget proposal on Wednesday aimed at unlocking $95 billion in funding. The legislation is tied to military operations in Iran and the SAVE Act.
The plan faces a rocky path amid Republican divisions. It would pave the way for votes months before the midterm elections to fund a war that polls show is deeply unpopular.
The budget package includes provisions to authorize new spending. It also incorporates changes to border security policy under the SAVE Act.
Lawmakers in both parties remain sharply split over the proposal. Some Republicans oppose the Iran funding, while others demand stricter border measures.
The White House has not taken a formal position. Administration officials are reviewing the bill’s specific language.
Key votes are expected in late summer. The timeline puts pressure on leadership to unify their caucus quickly.
Political analysts note the war’s low approval ratings could sway moderate Republicans. Constituents in swing districts have voiced strong opposition.
The budget’s release marks the first major legislative push ahead of the 2026 elections. Party leaders hope to rally their base while avoiding internal collapse.
Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks. No final vote has been scheduled.
