众议院共和党人周三以216票对214票通过预算决议[2]，为一项950亿美元的协调法案铺路[1][2]。该法案旨在资助伊朗战争及相关国家安全需求，同时向农民提供援助并推行投票限制措施[1][2]。
众议院议长麦克·约翰逊推进这一共和党单独提出的预算提案[1]。根据分配方案，国防部将获得600亿美元，其他国家安全需求获得130亿美元，农民补助120亿美元，投票法改革100亿美元[1]。国防部长皮特·赫格塞思表示五角大楼面临现金短缺，尽管去年预算法案中获得了150亿美元一次性拨款[1]。
该协调法案程序可绕过民主党的冗长辩论规则，仅需简单多数通过[2]。两名共和党人——俄亥俄州的沃伦·戴维森和肯塔基州的托马斯·马西，以及加州独立人士凯文·基利与全体民主党人反对该措施[2]。众议院民主党领袖希克梅特·杰弗里斯表示："共和党人从饥饿的儿童、老年人和退伍军人的嘴里夺走食物来维持特朗普战争机器"[1]。
在投票法改革方面，约9%的美国投票年龄公民，即约2130万人，缺乏投票权公民证明[1]。
该法案在参议院前景不确定[1]。参议院多数党领袖约翰·通恩表示，可能在秋季使用众议院预算决议为政府拨款以防止联邦政府关闭，现有资金将在9月30日过期[1]。
House Republicans have moved forward with a $95 billion budget package addressing military operations in Iran and key Trump administration priorities. The chamber voted 216 to 214 to pass a budget resolution on Wednesday, clearing the path for a reconciliation bill that would bypass extended Democratic debate procedures and require only a simple majority to pass [2].
The spending proposal allocates $60 billion to the Department of Defense, $13 billion for other national security needs, $12 billion in farmer assistance, and $10 billion for voting restrictions [1]. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited cash shortages at the Pentagon as justification for the additional funding, despite the department receiving a one-time $150 billion appropriation in last year's budget legislation [1].
The vote revealed fractures within Republican ranks, as two GOP members—Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky—joined all Democrats and independent Kevin Kiley of California in opposing the measure [2]. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the proposal in stark terms, stating that Republicans were taking "food out of the mouths of hungry children, seniors and veterans to fuel Trump's war machine" [1].
The legislation faces uncertain prospects in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that lawmakers may resort to using the House budget resolution in autumn to fund the government and prevent a shutdown, as current federal funding expires on September 30 [1].
