House to Vote on Senate Version of Trump's Bill Amid GOP Division
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 3 – House Republicans face internal opposition over a $4.5 trillion bill that includes nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts and is projected to add $3.9 trillion to the national debt, analysts say.
- The U.S. Senate passed its version of a bill cutting taxes and reducing spending on Medicaid and SNAP by a 51-50 vote on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
- The bill builds on a House version passed in May but differs by increasing the federal deficit by about $1 trillion more and imposing Medicaid work requirements and eligibility checks, prompting debate within the GOP.
- Supporters say the bill prioritizes working Americans, fuels job growth, preserves benefits, boosts military spending, expands tip and overtime tax deductions, and eliminates green energy subsidies while opponents criticize the Medicaid cuts and deficit increase.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed strong opposition, highlighting that individuals who lose their health coverage or clean energy jobs, as well as mothers struggling to feed their children, do not view the bill positively. Meanwhile, Rep. Shontel Brown vowed to oppose the legislation with full effort in the House.
- The Senate-approved bill now returns to the House for a final vote, where Republican leadership vows to push it through despite concerns that some factions may block it before it can reach President Trump for his signature.
