The legislation, pushed by Speaker Mike Johnson, is designed to usher through President Donald Trump's agenda without offsetting budget cuts. According to HuffPost, Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), chairman of the Budget Committee, characterized the bill as 'just bullets and bombs to finish the job.' The bill will now move to the Senate for consideration.
The House also passed a separate $1.15 trillion defense policy bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), with a vote of 216-212. This annual defense spending measure was attached to contentious voting legislation before being sent to the Senate.
The budget proposal is part of a broader effort by House Republicans to fund the government through early December, aiming to avoid a shutdown before the midterm elections. According to NPR, six Democrats joined Republicans in advancing the bill. The current funding is set to expire on September 30, 2026.
The House will recess for a five-week August break starting Thursday, July 25, 2026. Senate Majority Leader John Thune hopes to consider a continuing resolution before his chamber leaves for break on August 6, 2026.
