Republicans advance Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ in unusual late-night vote
- House Republicans narrowly advanced a 1,116-page tax and spending package in a rare late Sunday weekend vote in 2025 ahead of the Memorial Day deadline.
- The bill aims to extend tax breaks from Trump's first term but faces internal GOP demands for faster Medicaid and green energy cuts amid stalled negotiations.
- Key features include increasing the cap on deductions for state and local taxes to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly, introducing temporary tax breaks on gratuities and interest paid on car loans, and implementing Medicaid work requirements beginning in 2027.
- Majority Leader Steve Scalise indicated that the implementation of work requirements for certain individuals on Medicaid is planned to start in early 2027, advancing the timeline from the originally proposed 2029 date, while fiscal watchdogs project the legislation could increase the national debt by approximately $3.3 trillion over ten years.
- If passed by the House, the package would move to the Senate amid ongoing GOP disputes and firm Democratic opposition citing cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs.
