House GOP's $95 Billion Budget Bill Nears Failure as Deficit Hawks and Senate Republicans Resist

Summary
$95 billion in proposed House Republican spending for the Iran war and U.S. farmers is at risk as Speaker Mike Johnson struggles to secure the near-unanimous GOP support needed for a party-line vote.
Deficit concerns are driving resistance from fiscal hawks, threatening a bill designed to send money to the Pentagon while also delivering aid to American farmers.
Senate Republicans are also skeptical, leaving the package exposed even if Johnson can push it through the House.
The standoff underscores how narrow Republican margins and internal spending fights are complicating efforts to fund both military operations and domestic relief.
