Trump’s megabill advances in the House after GOP divisions nearly derail it
- On July 3, 2025, the Republican-led House narrowly voted 219-213 to advance a major tax and spending package associated with President Donald Trump's policy goals, achieving an important procedural victory.
- The bill builds on the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, extending $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and introducing new deductions amid internal GOP divisions and opposition from Democrats.
- Supporters highlighted provisions preserving the 21% corporate tax rate, reinstating R&D expensing, and expanding manufacturing credits, while opponents criticized deep Medicaid cuts and reduced benefits for vulnerable populations.
- Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking Senate vote to pass the bill, which narrowly cleared the upper chamber and drew calls from manufacturing groups urging swift House approval.
- With a final House vote expected soon, the bill's passage could lead to Trump signing it into law by July 4, although disagreements threaten potential delays.
