House Republicans on July 15, 2026 released a $95 billion budget-resolution blueprint for a third reconciliation package this Congress, seeking to boost defense and intelligence funding tied to the Iran conflict, provide farm aid, and finance grants related to parts of the SAVE America Act ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled the outline of what they are calling “Reconciliation 3.0,” a budget-resolution framework totaling $95 billion in new spending instructions for four House committees.

Under the resolution, $60 billion would go to the House Armed Services Committee for defense spending, $13 billion to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for intelligence operations tied to the conflict with Iran, and $12 billion to the House Committee on Agriculture for farm subsidies and related grants. The outline also sets aside $10 billion for a grant program intended to encourage states to implement certain provisions associated with President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act.

Republicans are pursuing the package through the budget-reconciliation process, which allows legislation to pass the Senate with a simple majority, avoiding the 60-vote threshold typically needed to overcome a filibuster.

The spending is not expected to be offset by cuts elsewhere, according to reporting by The Daily Wire and Reuters.

Some House conservatives signaled discomfort with deficit spending even as they argued the package addresses urgent priorities. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said he was “getting a little hung up” on the spending but suggested targeted emergency funding for defense and the effort to advance SAVE America Act provisions could be necessary. Rep. Randy Fine of Florida said he did not want to add to the deficit but wanted lawmakers to weigh the consequences of inaction.

Speaker Mike Johnson has been working with House Budget Committee Republicans and White House officials to assemble the framework, with multiple outlets reporting that members held discussions connected to Camp David earlier in the week. The framework is expected to remain under debate through the end of the week, with House leadership aiming for a vote on the budget resolution next week.

Initial reactions on X include detailed breakdowns of the $95B package focusing on defense and Iran funding, farm aid, and election grants. Some users criticize the spending as easy tax dollars amid unkept no-wars promises, question leadership resolve, and decry mixing national security with partisan voter rules.

House Republicans approved more than $1.1 trillion for the Pentagon on Wednesday along with a separate $95 billion budget framework that includes over $70 billion for the war with Iran.

The Senate voted to proceed with a Republican reconciliation bill that would provide about $72 billion for immigration enforcement agencies through fiscal year 2029, after a mid-May delay tied to controversy over a proposed Justice Department “anti-weaponization” fund.

With one week remaining before the House adjourns for its August recess, Speaker Mike Johnson aims to advance several priorities including additional defense funding, an election integrity measure and a stock trading ban for lawmakers.

With a little over five months until the November 2026 general election, Republican speakers in Iowa are promoting what they describe as policy victories under President Donald Trump while arguing that Democratic proposals would raise costs. The pitch comes as Republicans also confront voter concerns about higher gas prices and an unpopular U.S. war in Iran, according to an NPR report from Iowa.
