Here's the Scoop · The Costs of the U.S. War with Iran and Congress Races Toward August Recess · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

Tomorrow is the House's last day before the August recess, and GOP leaders are racing to pass some key agenda items. voice-verified

On Tuesday, the House voted mostly along party lines to fund the government through December 4th. voice-verified

That stopgap funding bill now heads to the Senate, where it's going to require support from Democrats as well. voice-verified

But disagreements over the war in Iran and President Trump's election security priorities are making it a lot harder for Republicans to get that buy-in ahead of the recess. voice-verified

So how much will Congress be able to get done this week? voice-verified

And will it help or hurt members as they go home to campaign ahead of the midterms? voice-verified

For this, I want to bring in NBC News Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles. voice-verified

Hi, Ryan. voice-verified

Hi, Yasmin. voice-verified

So there is a lot on this to-do list for Congress. voice-verified

We're going to circle back to that stopgap funding bill in a moment. voice-verified

But I want to start first with the war with Iran, because we just spoke about Hegs' hearing on the Hill yesterday. voice-verified

And congressional Republicans are actually working on a supplemental package that includes funding for the war with Iran. voice-verified

Where do things stand right now with that package? voice-verified

So amidst all this, the GOP is also working on this reconciliation package, right? voice-verified

What are they trying to fund through reconciliation? voice-verified

So you mentioned the SAVE Act, and I want to talk about that as well, because the president made this big primetime address about election security last week, and we haven't really heard about it since. voice-verified

Did that address at all move the needle in the House and or the Senate? voice-verified

So what's the read on the New Jersey news on Capitol Hill right now? voice-verified

Because Governor Mikey Sherrill came out with this news on Tuesday saying around 6,600, to be exact, noncitizens mistakenly registered to vote from 2023. voice-verified
