Recon 3.0 in peril as Johnson races to lock GOP on a $95B budget framework

Johnson is pushing Recon 3.0, a $95 billion GOP budget framework, through House committees, but several fiscal hawks haven’t committed yet, risking a delay past the August recess. The push hinges on committee support and offsets, with leadership signaling a possible future reconciliation bill (4.0) to cover remaining priorities. Meanwhile, Democrats press on Trump’s election-security agenda and a separate effort on bipartisan paid leave, as House Republicans weigh a stopgap funding measure that could be tied to the SAVE America Act ahead of the midterms.
