House Narrowly Passes Trump’s Sweeping Tax and Budget Bill

The 215-214 vote sends the controversial reconciliation package to the Senate, where further debate and amendments are expected.

Overview

  • The House passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' early Thursday morning by a single vote, with two Republicans opposing and one voting present.
  • The bill extends Trump-era 2017 tax cuts, adds new breaks such as no taxes on tips and overtime, and raises the SALT deduction cap to $40,000 for some filers.
  • New Medicaid and SNAP work requirements could result in millions losing health and food assistance, according to nonpartisan analyses.
  • The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will add $3.8 trillion to deficits over a decade, partially offset by $1 trillion in spending cuts.
  • The legislation now moves to the Republican-controlled Senate, where revisions are anticipated before a final version reaches President Trump’s desk.
