The recently passed Big, Beautiful Bill by the Republican-controlled House aims to fulfill President Trump's policies. While it includes tax cuts and military funding, it adds approximately $3.8 trillion to national debt. Its narrow passage by 215-214 reflects internal party negotiations, and the bill will enter the Senate for further debate and modifications. Critics express concern about cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, while proponents highlight its anticipated economic benefits.
The legislation, which would enact much of President Donald Trump's policy agenda, passed early Thursday morning after an overnight session.
The package passed in a 215-214 vote after a marathon push that kept lawmakers debating the bill through two successive nights.
With a narrow 220-212 majority, House Speaker Mike Johnson could not afford to lose more than a handful of votes from his side.
The bill is now headed to the Republican-controlled Senate, where it will likely be changed further during weeks of debate.
