On July 22, 2026, House Republicans initiated the drafting of a $95 billion bill aimed at funding the war with Iran and providing aid to farmers. The decision came after a budget resolution was passed in a nearly party-line vote of 216-214. This resolution allows for the creation of a reconciliation bill, which can progress through the Senate using special rules that bypass the Democratic filibuster, requiring only a simple majority for approval. Two Republicans, Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, along with independent Kevin Kiley of California, voted against the measure alongside all Democrats.
