Who Won and Lost in Trump’s Tax Bill

UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – The tax bill extends 2017 cuts favoring wealthy investors and large farms while eliminating key clean energy credits and cutting social program benefits, affecting 22 million families, analysts say.

  • The U.S. House passed President Trump’s sweeping tax-and-spending bill in a 218-214 vote on July 3, 2025, ahead of his July 4 deadline.
  • The legislation extends the 2017 Trump income tax cuts permanently and includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, with benefits favoring wealthy Americans.
  • Key provisions raise taxes on immigrants, phase out clean energy tax credits, and create new work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP recipients up to age 65.
  • The bill temporarily raises the cap on deductions for state and local taxes to $40,000 for five years before returning to the $10,000 limit set under the 2017 law, and introduces a tax that can reach up to 8% on the endowment income of wealthy universities.
  • The bill reduces funding for Medicaid and food assistance programs affecting millions, while increasing the defense budget by $150 billion and allocating funds for space exploration and broadband initiatives.
