**With only eight days remaining before the September 30 deadline, Senate passage of a $20 billion-plus supplemental war funding measure faces steep procedural and political hurdles.** Partisan divisions over the Trump administration’s June request for $87.6 billion—primarily $67 billion for defense costs tied to the Iran conflict—have stalled progress, with Democrats criticizing the war and the supplemental’s scope while some Republicans question timing ahead of midterms. A continuing resolution passed by both chambers in late August and early September extended funding through December without including the supplemental, reflecting bipartisan reluctance to attach contentious war-related appropriations. Hearings in July highlighted opposition to non-defense riders and war costs, and no floor action on a standalone or amended package has advanced in the Senate since. The narrow window before fiscal year-end and the CR’s exclusion of the funding reinforce trader expectations that the threshold will not be met.
