House Rushes Vote on Trump Tax, Spending Bill

House Republicans are rushing to pass President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts package ahead of his July 4 deadline, following its narrow Senate approval decided by Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote. Despite fierce opposition from House Democrats, who label the bill as a giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of vulnerable Americans, Republican leaders are determined to consolidate support and dare dissenters to oppose it. The bill’s progression has been fraught with challenges, requiring Trump to personally call undecided House Republicans to secure enough votes amid the party's slim majority. Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are actively trying to sway Republicans from competitive districts to vote against the bill, warning of its harmful impact on everyday Americans. Trump has publicly urged Republicans to support the bill, asserting control over the legislative process as the House prepares for a pivotal vote. The legislative push underscores the high stakes and deep partisan divisions surrounding the package in Congress.
