US EditionTrump’s megabill advances in the House after GOP divisions nearly derail it
- On July 3, 2025, the Republican-led House narrowly approved a major tax and expenditure package associated with President Donald Trump's agenda, following a heated debate in Washington, D.C.
- The bill reached this stage following a narrow Senate passage decided by Vice President JD Vance's tie-breaking vote and intense lobbying by GOP leaders and Trump to secure support amid internal divisions.
- The legislation renews nearly $4.5 trillion in tax benefits initially established during Trump's 2017 administration, adds new deductions for gratuities and seniors, boosts credits for manufacturing, and enforces $1.2 trillion in reductions to Medicaid and food stamp programs through the introduction of new work requirements.
- During the House floor debate, Democrat Gabe Amo cautioned that 17 million Americans stand to lose their health coverage, while the wealthiest 1% could benefit significantly—receiving an additional $300,000 annually—due to this risky legislation.
- The vote sets the stage for a final House approval and Trump's planned signature by July 4, though disagreements raise the possibility of delays in enacting the bill into law.
