Trump’s megabill advances in the House after GOP divisions nearly derail it
- Early Thursday, House Republicans voted 219-213 to advance a major tax and spending bill championed by President Donald Trump following extended debate in Washington.
- The bill, which passed the Senate by a slim margin with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie, proposes to maintain and expand tax incentives from the Trump administration’s original legislation, including significant deductions.
- Republican leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump, actively worked to secure support amid opposition over $1.2 trillion in Medicaid and food stamp cuts and rollback of some clean-energy credits.
- The legislation preserves the 21% corporate tax rate, permanently restores key TCJA provisions, and introduces a new deduction allowing businesses to expense factory costs, while the vote fell mostly along party lines.
- The bill’s House advancement sets up a final vote expected soon as Republicans seek to meet Trump’s self-imposed July 4 deadline, though Democrats warn it will harm vulnerable populations.
