House Republicans advanced the framework for a third reconciliation package in July 2026 by narrowly passing a budget resolution that directs committees to produce recommendations on defense funding tied to Iran operations, farm aid, and election integrity measures by mid-September. The actual bill has not yet cleared the House floor, however, as Senate Republicans prioritize completing appropriations and government funding measures first, while internal GOP divisions persist over spending levels, offsets, and procedural sequencing. With the House operating on a compressed September schedule ahead of the November midterms and a subsequent lame-duck period, the window for floor action remains narrow and dependent on resolving these differences before year-end procedural deadlines.
