House Approves $95 Billion Spending Plan for Iran War, Farmers, and Voting Changes

On July 22, 2026, the House voted 216-214 to advance a $95 billion spending plan using reconciliation — a shortcut that lets the Senate pass budget bills with a simple majority. The plan includes $73 billion for military action against Iran, $12 billion to help farmers, and $10 billion to change election laws, including banning mail-in ballots. Two Republicans and one independent aligned with the GOP voted no. The Senate has its own rule that may remove the election changes, since they aren't strictly about spending.
