House Republicans have initiated their third attempt at reconciliation, narrowly passing a budget framework to advance a planned $95 billion package. This procedural move allows them to proceed, but the package itself faces significant hurdles in both chambers. The vote was tight, with two Republicans and all Democrats opposing the measure, resulting in a 216-214 passage. The proposed funding includes substantial amounts for the Iran war, farm aid, and a grant program to encourage states to adopt elements of the SAVE America Act. Despite the narrow victory, concerns persist regarding the absence of spending offsets and ongoing disagreements over enforcement for their election bill. President Trump and his administration actively lobbied House Republicans to secure their support for the budget resolution. Some conservatives are critical of the SAVE America Act provisions, preferring direct mandates over grant incentives for states. Senate Republicans have expressed reservations about including the full SAVE Act, fearing it might not meet the "Byrd bath" rule for reconciliation. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that the budget reconciliation framework could serve as a fallback plan to prevent a government shutdown.
