The "Great Beautiful Bill" (MEGA), which includes the comprehensive tax and spending cuts touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as the flagship of his domestic policy, was voted on in the House of Representatives.
APPROVED BY A 4 VOTE MARGIN
The bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, also passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 218 in favor and 214 against. MEGA has been sent to Trump's desk for signing.
RECORD WITH A 9-HOUR SPEECH
The vote was held today due to Democratic Party House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delaying proceedings by speaking against the bill for nearly 9 hours. Jeffries broke the record for the longest speech in House history. While Democrats opposed the bill on the grounds that it would weaken the social safety net, Republicans defended MEGA, which they described as "economic restructuring."
PACKAGE SHAPED BY TAX CUTS AND SPENDING CUTS
The trillion-dollar bill includes both tax cuts and funding increases for national security. While budget increases are provided for areas such as the Pentagon and border security, the largest federal cuts to social programs like Medicaid are planned. Republicans aim to rein in public spending and ensure fiscal discipline with these cuts.
TRUMP'S FIRST MAJOR LEGISLATIVE VICTORY
The passage of the bill through Congress brought President Donald Trump his first major legislative success in his second term. In recent days, Trump has exerted intense pressure within the party alongside his allies in the House and Senate, forcing members who were inclined to leave the party to support him. Republican Party (GOP) leaders emphasized that this package is a critical step in fulfilling Trump's key campaign promises ranging from immigration to taxes.
INTERNAL PARTY OPPOSITION OVERCOME
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune managed to unite nearly all members of the Republican Party on the same line. Despite warnings from fiscal hawks about the massive cost of the bill and objections from some moderate members regarding Medicaid cuts, GOP leadership remained determined to pass the package.
"THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN SIGN THE DEAL"
Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna assessed Trump's last-minute direct intervention in the bill by saying, "There is only one person who can sign the deal." Luna highlighted the impact of Trump's leadership on the Republican Party.
