On July 22, 2026, House Republicans approved a budget framework to initiate the reconciliation process for a proposed $95 billion package, with a vote of 216-214. Two Republicans, Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), along with all Democrats and Independent Rep. Kevin Kiley (Calif.), opposed the measure. The package allocates $73 billion for the Iran war, $12 billion for farm aid, and $10 billion to incentivize states to adopt provisions from the SAVE America Act. Despite the approval, concerns about spending offsets and enforcement mechanisms for the election bill remain. President Trump urged House Republicans to support the budget resolution prior to the vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) indicated that the reconciliation package faces challenges ahead, with plans to use the framework as a backup to prevent a government shutdown at the end of September.
