Overview
- Lawmakers approved the bill in a 218–214 roll call, with Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick and Thomas Massie breaking ranks to join Democrats in opposing the measure.
- It permanently enshrines Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and raises defense and immigration budgets alongside steep reductions to Medicaid, food assistance, and green energy incentives to help offset the cost.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates the package will slash federal revenues by $4.5 trillion and expand the national deficit by over $3 trillion in the next decade.
- Final approval followed an overnight marathon in the House chamber featuring a procedural 219–213 vote and an 8-hour-44-minute floor speech by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
- President Trump personally lobbied reluctant Republicans with White House meetings, phone calls, and public threats on Truth Social to secure the majority.
