In a passionate floor speech as the House drew near to a final vote, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted what he called President Donald Trump’s “big ugly bill.”
After hours of Republican drama, the House on Thursday morning was nearing a final vote on President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax cut and spending bill.
Trump helped Speaker Mike Johnson pressure GOP holdouts into flipping their no votes to allow the measure to go forward in time to meet the president’s self-imposed July Fourth deadline.
Republican fiscal hawks were upset that the Senate version being voted is projected to add roughly $1 trillion more to the deficit than what the House passed back in May.
