New Mexico House Democrats Blast Passage of President Trump's Budget Bill
- On July 3, 2025, the House narrowly approved a comprehensive budget reconciliation bill by a vote of 218-214, which encompasses extensive tax and spending measures and will be sent to President Donald Trump for his signature.
- The bill followed months of negotiation marked by opposition from fiscal conservatives and GOP moderates concerned about its $3.4 trillion price tag and Medicaid cuts that risked millions losing health insurance.
- The legislation includes $150 billion for defense, tax breaks, immigration, energy provisions, and was approved after lengthy debates, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delivering a record 8.5-hour speech opposing it.
- Republican leaders hailed it as a historic, people-driven victory fulfilling America First promises, while critics called it a damaging wealth transfer favoring the wealthy and adding trillions to the debt.
- With the bill sent to President Trump and expected to be signed soon, it marks a legislative win that could shape the upcoming midterm elections and sets a new course in U.S. fiscal and domestic policy.
