The House voted 216-214 on a budget reconciliation framework that includes $10 billion worth of election-related grants over a 10-year period for coaxing states into adopting anti-voting measures like those in Trump’s pet proposal. The $95 billion package also includes funding for the Iran war and bailouts for farmers hurt by Trump’s tariffs.

It’s still unclear what will be in the final reconciliation bill; now that the budget resolution has been approved, individual House committees will go about drafting the legislation. The reconciliation process allows Senate Republicans to bypass the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold and pass legislation with a simple majority.
