The White House formally requested Congress to approve an additional $87.6 billion in funding on Wednesday, with the majority allocated for "urgent needs" related to the U.S. war against Iran. In a letter to House Speaker Johnson, the Office of Management and Budget stated that most of the funds would be used for expenditures tied to the conflict with Iran. The request came just one day after Congress passed a resolution condemning the military action, indicating that the funding faces resistance in Congress—particularly as the U.S.-Iran conflict is unpopular among voters and with the November midterm elections approaching.
