House GOP Budget Blueprint Adds $73 Billion for Defense

Barchart·07/15/2026 18:28:11

House Republicans released a budget blueprint that would authorize up to $95 billion in party-line spending, including $60 billion for Armed Services and $13 billion for Intelligence. The proposal is part of a planned reconciliation package, a process the Congressional Research Service says can move through the Senate without a three-fifths cloture vote.

The House Budget Committee markup is scheduled for Thursday, with GOP leaders targeting a House vote next week.

The blueprint also includes up to $10 billion for House Administration and $12 billion for Agriculture.

The debate follows Senate Democrats blocking a roughly $1 trillion defense bill, while the White House seeks larger Pentagon funding, AP reported.

Axios reported GOP leaders were assembling roughly $67 billion in defense funding as part of the framework.
