US House Republicans push forward on Trump funding plan for Iran war, election overhaul
Democrats have criticized Republicans for pushing for a $95 billion defense budget while failing to address soaring prices for gasoline, food, and other goods that voters say are their top issues
Assessment
House Republicans are advancing a funding plan that ties military action against Iran to domestic election changes, a move that sharpens partisan divisions ahead of budget negotiations. Democrats argue the $95 billion defense package ignores voter concerns about inflation and everyday costs, setting up a clash over national priorities. The outcome will test whether security spending or economic relief gains more traction in Congress.
