House Approves $95B Package: Iran War Funds, Farmer Aid, Election Changes

The House voted 216-214 on July 22, 2026, to begin reconciliation — a fast-track budget process bypassing Senate filibuster — on a $95 billion package. It includes $73 billion for military operations against Iran, $12 billion in farmer aid, and $10 billion for election-law changes, including a ban on mail-in ballots. Two Republicans and one GOP-aligned independent voted no. The Senate's Byrd Rule, which prohibits non-budget items in reconciliation, may strip the election provisions.
