Sweeping tax and spending bill hands both parties a midterm message

UNITED STATES CONGRESS, JUL 09 – The bill includes tax cuts, spending changes, and Medicaid reductions projected to cause millions to lose coverage, setting up a major Democratic campaign focus for the 2026 midterms.

  • The U.S. House passed a major tax and spending bill on July 3, 2025, with a 218-214 vote at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
  • The bill met a July 4 deadline imposed by President Trump and followed significant revisions by the Senate before returning to the House.
  • The package includes a 2.5% tax credit for metallurgical coal production primarily from Appalachian Virginia mines, eliminates the 2022 electric vehicle credit, and shortens renewable energy project timelines.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson said all House Democrats opposed the measure, which included Medicaid and food assistance cuts, while two Republicans also voted against it.
  • The bill delivers a legislative win for Republicans while Democrats warn it could lead to loss of health coverage for millions and plan to make it a key election issue.
