US EditionHouse Republicans narrowly pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and program cuts after all-night session
UNITED STATES, MAY 24 – House Republicans passed a budget bill cutting Medicaid by $625 billion over 10 years while increasing tax breaks for wealthy Americans in a narrow 215-214 vote, advancing it to the Senate.
- On April 8, 2025, House Republicans narrowly passed a multitrillion-dollar tax breaks and spending cuts package after an all-night session in Washington, D.C.
- The package, driven by President Trump’s priority and multiple White House meetings, aims to extend $4.5 trillion in 2017 tax cuts and add new tax breaks from his 2024 campaign.
- The bill includes work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP recipients, a quadrupled SALT deduction at $40,000, faster rollback of clean energy credits, and $12 billion for Homeland Security.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would increase deficits by $3.8 trillion, reduce healthcare coverage by 8.6 million, and cut SNAP benefits for 3 million people monthly.
- The narrow 215-214 vote reflects deep GOP divisions overcome by Speaker Johnson’s leadership, while Democrats strongly opposed the bill, warning of harmful social and fiscal impacts.
