House passes second spending package with more bills in pipeline

The House easily passed a package of two fiscal 2026 appropriations bills with broad bipartisan support Wednesday, teeing up a second set of long-delayed spending bills for the Senate to consider. 

The $76.6 billion package bundles the final negotiated versions of the Financial Services and National Security-State bills for the fiscal year that began last October, providing funding for the Treasury Department, IRS, State Department and more.

The 341-79 vote marked the second time this month the House passed a multi-bill spending package as lawmakers race to complete appropriations by Jan. 30, when current funding for most federal agencies is set to expire.
