US EditionHouse Republicans narrowly pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and program cuts after all-night session
- House Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s multitrillion-dollar tax breaks and spending cuts bill on May 22, 2025, in Washington by a narrow 215-214 vote after an all-night session.
- The legislation responded to internal GOP pressures to reinstate and expand Trump-era 2017 tax breaks while imposing stricter Medicaid work requirements, amid fierce opposition from Democrats calling it a "big, ugly bill."
- Key elements of the plan involve prolonging $4.5 trillion in tax incentives, increasing the state and local tax deduction to $40,000 for taxpayers earning as much as $500,000, advancing the start date of Medicaid work requirements to December 2026 with an 80-hour monthly obligation, and accelerating the phase-out of clean energy tax incentives.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would reduce Medicaid and SNAP recipients by millions, increase deficits by $3.8 trillion over ten years, and lead to 8.6 million fewer insured Americans, highlighting concerns about growing national debt.
- The bill’s passage culminated a difficult political effort led by Speaker Mike Johnson, reflecting Republican voters’ priorities but signaling continued debate in the Senate and ongoing contention over the nation’s fiscal sustainability.
