House Republicans advanced a budget resolution on July 22, 2026, by a 216-214 party-line vote that directs committees to produce legislative recommendations by September 11 for a third reconciliation package focused on defense and intelligence funding, agriculture aid, and elements of the SAVE America Act. This followed passage of the prior Secure America Act immigration measure in June. Internal GOP divisions over spending offsets, the narrow House majority, and Senate reluctance—where leaders have signaled the blueprint may wait until after the September 30 funding deadline—have slowed momentum. With midterms approaching, traders weigh the procedural path through reconciliation against competing priorities and the risk of calendar pressure limiting floor action before year-end.
