House Republicans' $95 billion Iran war package clears first hurdle

Republicans on the House Budget Committee advanced a $95 billion package on Thursday. This legislative effort, which cleared the committee via a party-line vote, allocates funding for the Iran war and farm aid. Additionally, the package includes President Donald Trump's push for strict new voter ID requirements. Despite being described as a longshot effort, the proposal has successfully cleared its first hurdle within the House Budget Committee to move toward further consideration.
