US EditionRepublicans advance Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ in unusual late-night vote
- On the evening of May 18, 2025, Republicans secured approval for their tax cut and border security legislation from an important House panel during an uncommon late-night session in Washington.
- This effort followed an earlier attempt blocked when deficit hawks and Democrats opposed the bill due to concerns about its impact on the national debt and spending.
- The bill makes permanent the income tax reductions enacted in 2017, introduces new temporary tax breaks such as excluding taxes on tips, overtime earnings, and auto loan interest, and seeks to raise the cap on combined state and local tax relief to $30,000 for married filers with annual incomes up to $400,000.
- A nonpartisan fiscal watchdog group projects that the proposal will add approximately $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the coming decade, while Speaker Johnson characterized the recent adjustments as merely minor tweaks.
- Should the House approve the bill as anticipated this week, it will proceed to the Senate, where additional amendments could complicate final passage; meanwhile, ongoing discussions are focusing on addressing deficit concerns and implementing Medicaid work requirements.
