House Republicans voted Thursday morning to approve President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill, sending it to his desk for his signature.
The package, passed by the Senate in a marathon session earlier this week, includes tax cuts and funding boosts for the Pentagon and border security. It also includes
more contentious spending cuts to pay for the rest of the bill, including the biggest downsizing of the federal safety net in decades.
It gives Trump the first major legislative achievement of his second term, following a fierce arm-twisting campaign by GOP leaders to unite a deeply divided party behind his sweeping domestic agenda.
The landmark victory for Republicans comes just six months into Trump’s second administration — a rapid timeline that appeared in question up until the final vote. The president and his Capitol Hill allies ratcheted up
pressure on party holdouts in recent days, arguing the package will help cement Trump’s legacy on issues like immigration and tax policy — including making key campaign promises reality — while attempting to rein in spending with historic cuts to federal support for the social safety net.
With almost no room for error, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune convinced nearly every member of their party to march in line behind Trump. They succeeded despite months of griping by fiscal hawks about exploding the deficit with a multi-trillion-dollar bill, and separately, concerns from more moderate members about historic cuts to Medicaid.
The propelling force behind Republicans’ megabill was simple: Trump and his iron grip on the GOP.
“Only one man that can seal the deal,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said of Trump’s involvement in the final hours of the House’s push to pass the bill.
