Summary
A 217-209 House vote approved $47.3 billion for the State Department in fiscal 2027, advancing a measure that would reduce funding 6% from current levels.
Nearly all Democrats opposed the bill, but it still set global health funding at nearly $8.9 billion—$532 million below 2026 enacted levels yet far above the White House's $5.1 billion request.
