GOP Unveils $90B Reconciliation Plan Linking War Spending, Farm Aid and Elections

House Republicans released a 47-page budget resolution to start a third reconciliation bill totaling about $90 billion, with $60 billion for Armed Services to fund the Iran war, $12 billion for farm aid, $10 billion for election-related funding through the House Administration Committee, and $13 billion for Intelligence. The move aims to bypass a Senate filibuster without Democratic votes, but faces opposition from Democrats and budget hawks for lacking offsets and potentially increasing deficits. The plan advances through the House Budget Committee as “Reconciliation 3.0,” with the path to the Senate and a final bill uncertain due to political and fiscal hurdles.
