Johnson unveils $95 billion plan for defense spending and Trump’s elections overhaul

"House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday revealed his long-awaited plans for a massive $95 billion emergency funding request to pay for defense spending, including for the Iran War, and to promote President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on election laws.

It’s a massive gamble by Johnson, with no certainty that it can pass the House, let alone the Senate, with a huge faction of the party still uneasy about the White House’s strategy in Iran — and about putting the costs on the nation’s credit card. But the Pentagon is applying heavy pressure, urging lawmakers to pass the funding by the August recess.

Johnson’s plan, which still needs to go through multiple steps before it reaches the House floor, would spend up to $73 billion on the Pentagon and national security, including backfilling key agencies that have so far funded the Iran War."
