Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Passes House by Just One Vote

 

House Republicans succeeded in pushing through President Donald Trump’s sprawling fiscal package on Thursday, which passed by the narrowest of possible margins – one vote.

The 215–214 vote followed a turbulent 48 hours that saw late-night committee sessions, procedural skirmishes, and lobbying by House Speaker Mike Johnson to get Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” over the line.

Johnson, whose credibility was on the line, oversaw a Rules Committee marathon of 21 straight hours to hammer out 42 pages of last-minute amendments to the already 1,000-page-plus legislation.

Two Republicans – Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Warren Davidson (R-OH) – broke ranks to vote against the bill, joining a united Democratic opposition.

The sweeping piece of domestic legislation proposes to extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, slash $1.5 trillion in federal spending, and impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients. It would also repeal green energy tax credits introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act, which was a key targets for conservatives seeking to roll back Biden-era policies.

All eyes now turn to the Senate, which will take up the bill next.
