Campaign trail looms as House heads home amid Iran and cost concerns

House Republicans head home for a five-week recess as they brace for a tough August campaign focused on Iran policy, rising living costs, and national security, while touting recent wins—funding through December, a $95 billion budget blueprint, and a defense policy bill—that the Senate is likely to block. Democrats counter with an affordability-focused message and monitor primary challenges that could sap unity; in the Senate, Trump’s push on the SAVE America Act faces resistance, while sanctions on Russia and Iran move toward a potential floor vote.
