US EditionTrump’s megabill advances in the House after GOP divisions nearly derail it
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – The bill includes historic tax cuts, $150 billion more for defense, and cuts to social programs, passing narrowly amid GOP divisions and unanimous Democratic opposition.
- During a late-night session, the House advanced Trump’s $3.3 trillion bill on a 219-213 vote, with four of five GOP holdouts flipping.
- Amid deadline pressure, Trump and Vance personally lobbied members; a seven-hour procedural vote and closed-door talks on Capitol Hill and at the White House followed.
- The $3.3 trillion bill extends tax cuts, funds immigration enforcement, and cuts ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid by about $1.1 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
- The House's final vote set for Thursday morning risks leaving 17 million people without insurance, as Trump aims to sign the bill by July 4.
- If the bill passes the House, the Senate, with McConnell's cautious outlook, faces a projected $3.3 trillion deficit increase over a decade, per the CBO.
