WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives passed the $94 billion war supplemental 281-148 late Wednesday night, sending to President Trump’s desk the package that funds the closing accounts of the Iran-Israel conflict, replenishes munitions stocks drawn down during the spring escalation, and includes a $4.8 billion Department of Veterans Affairs mental-health expansion added during Senate consideration.

The Wednesday-night vote followed a parliamentary maneuver that brought the Senate-amended package directly to the floor under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds supermajority for passage. The measure cleared that threshold with 174 Republican and 107 Democratic votes in favor, with the opposition divided between 91 Republicans — most of them members of the House Freedom Caucus — and 57 Democrats, predominantly progressives who had voted against the underlying war framework on prior occasions.

Speaker Mike Johnson, who had publicly opposed the discharge petition that had forced the chamber’s war powers vote on Monday, opted to bring the supplemental directly to the floor rather than allow another procedural revolt. In a brief statement on the floor before the vote, Johnson framed the package as “obligations the House owes to the men and women who served and to the suppliers who answered the call when called.” He did not address the political dynamic that had produced Monday’s discharge action.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, in a Wednesday-evening statement, said the supplemental’s bipartisan margin in both chambers “represents the broad American consensus that the work begun in March must be concluded well.” The Senate had cleared the underlying package 78-19 on Tuesday following the Senate Appropriations Committee’s markup, with the VA mental-health expansion adopted on the floor as an amendment by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., and Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.

The mental-health provision is the largest single VA expansion since the 2022 PACT Act and will, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate released Wednesday afternoon, support the addition of roughly 2,400 mental-health clinicians, expand the Veterans Crisis Line surge capacity, and fund a new community-based grant program for non-VA providers serving veterans in rural areas. The provision was framed by both Duckworth and Moran as a response to the elevated demand on VA mental-health services that has been visible in agency data since the late-March deployments.

The White House confirmed Wednesday evening that the president would sign the supplemental into law, with a signing ceremony scheduled for Friday morning at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in remarks to reporters at the daily briefing, said the administration had been “actively engaged” with House leadership throughout the day on the parliamentary track.

Inside the Republican conference, the Wednesday-evening vote represented the second occasion in five days on which a meaningful bloc of members had broken with the speaker and the conference’s leadership team on questions tied to the war and its aftermath. The Freedom Caucus had publicly urged its members to oppose the supplemental on the grounds that the package was not offset by spending reductions and that the war framework itself remained, in the group’s chairman’s words Wednesday, “an open architecture that the conference should examine more carefully.”

The Democratic opposition split along a different fault line. The 57 Democrats who opposed the package included most of the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s most active members, along with several California, New York and Pennsylvania members representing districts with concentrated college populations or active progressive grassroots organizations. The progressive opposition was less unified than in earlier war-related votes; a senior CPC member, asked about the smaller margin, said the VA mental-health provision “made the calculation harder for several of us.”

The supplemental’s three largest line items are: roughly $42 billion for munitions replenishment, including air-defense interceptors and precision-guided munitions consumed during the March-April operational tempo; $18 billion for ongoing operational support, including continued deployments in the Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean through the end of the fiscal year; and $11 billion for displaced-persons humanitarian assistance in the Eastern Mediterranean, distributed through USAID and the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. The VA mental-health provision, the largest non-defense addition, was the principal item added during Senate consideration.

The package includes several smaller provisions that drew specific attention in floor debate. A $620 million allocation for embassy security upgrades in the Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean was supported by a bipartisan group including the senior Republican and Democratic members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. A separate $310 million provision for accelerated joint exercises with Gulf partners — described by administration officials as a “Vienna-ready” capacity, in reference to the upcoming OPEC+ ministerial — passed with similar bipartisan support but drew criticism from a small group of progressive members concerned about the long-run footprint of the Gulf deployments.

The president, in a Wednesday-evening Truth Social post following the vote, called the supplemental’s passage “a tremendous and overwhelming success” and singled out the VA expansion for what he characterized as “common sense help to our great warriors.” He did not directly address the discharge petition or the underlying war powers vote that had preceded the supplemental’s Senate consideration.

The post-supplemental legislative calendar now turns to the Senate-House conference on the National Defense Authorization Act and to early discussion of a second supplemental package that several committee chairs have indicated would be required in the late summer to fund the post-war reconstruction and stabilization track. A senior Senate Appropriations staff member said the second package was being “scoped, not drafted,” and that its size and content would depend on the trajectory of post-war diplomatic developments through June.

A senior House Democrat, asked Wednesday evening about the political read of the night’s vote, paused before answering. “The party’s vote totals show the war is not popular,” the member said. “The mental-health provision shows the country does not want to take that out on its veterans. Both things are true tonight.”

The signing ceremony is set for 10:30 a.m. Eastern Friday. The president will be joined by Sens. Duckworth and Moran, VA Secretary Doug Collins, and a delegation of bipartisan House and Senate members.
