House Republicans Pass Mike Johnson's $95 Billion Budget Resolution

The House passed a $95 billion Republican-only budget resolution that Speaker Mike Johnson advanced, aimed at funding the Iran war and other Trump priorities. Its path in the Senate remains uncertain. Left-leaning outlets focus on disputes over whether the package's election provisions actually advance the SAVE Act and present Johnson's description as contested by Republican critics. Center outlets emphasize the narrow House passage, Republican divisions and uncertainty about Senate action. Right-leaning outlets frame the vote as progress for Republican priorities, especially election measures, while some also stress conflict with Senate Republicans.
