House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a budget framework for a roughly $95 billion reconciliation package that would provide funding for defense, farm aid and state efforts to implement voter ID requirements in elections.
The resolution marks the opening salvo in Republicans’ effort to use the budget reconciliation process one final time to advance key GOP priorities while they still control both chambers Congress and the White House. Because reconciliation bills can pass the Senate with a simple majority, the process would allow Republicans to sidestep a Democratic filibuster.
The budget resolution serves as a blueprint, setting perameters for a more detailed reconciliation bill.
The House Budget Committee is scheduled to mark up the budget resolution Thursday, kicking off what GOP leaders hope will be their final reconciliation push amid the high-stakes 2026 midterm elections.
