House Republicans' $95 billion Iran war package clears first hurdle

  • By LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent

Republicans on the House Budget Committee have advanced a $95 billion package for the Iran war, farm aid and President Donald Trump's push for strict new voter ID requirements. The longshot effort cleared the committee on a party-line vote Thursday and now moves to the full House. But there is trouble ahead. House Speaker Mike Johnson is going it alone, steamrolling past Democrats and relying on his slim majority for passage. It would next go to the Senate, where Republicans have largely panned the effort. Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington framed the proposal as one last push for Republicans to deliver for voters ahead of the midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
