At 3 a.m. in the Capitol, the Speaker of the House pauses to share his place for prayer
- Just past 3 a.m. In the Capitol, House Speaker Mike Johnson paused to pray before a vote on President Trump's top priority, a bill known as the "big, beautiful bill."
- Johnson, a conservative Christian, has relied on his faith amid a tumultuous process marked by a self-imposed Memorial Day deadline and strong opposition from Democrats and some GOP skeptics.
- The bill would cut health care for 8.6 million people and end SNAP benefits for 3 million each month by imposing new work requirements on able-bodied adults up to age 64.
- Johnson emphasized that during difficult periods, people have turned to prayer for guidance, which is the approach they continue to follow, while Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the bill as morally wrong and against American values, arguing that it unjustly deprives children of essential food.
- The vote outcome will affect vulnerable populations' access to essential aid and also highlight deep divisions over policy and moral responsibility in Congress.
