House Republicans Lack Votes to Pass Trump’s Budget Bill
- As of July 2, 2025, House Republican leadership in Washington, D.C. lacks sufficient support to approve President Donald Trump's tax and spending proposal.
- On July 2, President Trump invited lawmakers to the White House and dedicated considerable time persuading skeptics that the legislation would promote economic growth and enhance border security.
- Republicans face internal divisions over Medicaid cuts and social program reductions, while Democrats uniformly oppose the bill citing potential harm to healthcare and jobs.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill would increase the federal deficit by approximately $3.3 trillion over ten years, include nearly $4.5 trillion in tax reductions, allocate $350 billion for defense and border security, and implement $1.2 trillion in spending cuts primarily targeting Medicaid and food assistance programs.
- Leadership seeks approval before the self-imposed July 4 deadline, but amendments may send the bill back to the Senate, prolonging the legislative process amid high political pressure.
