House Advances Trump Tax-Spending Bill Amid GOP Divisions

President Trump is pushing for the House to quickly pass his controversial tax and spending legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), following its Senate approval. The bill proposes significant tax breaks for the wealthy, including estate tax exemptions and benefits for earners above $1 million, while cutting assistance for vulnerable Americans, drawing strong criticism from Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who called it the largest wealth transfer in American history. Some Republicans, including members of the House Freedom Caucus and conservatives like Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Thomas Massie, are opposing the bill due to concerns over its deficit impact and the rushed legislative process, demanding major changes and more time to review the Senate's version. Supporters argue the bill will stimulate economic growth and provide meaningful relief to middle-class families, along with increased funding for border security, immigration enforcement, and defense. The House vote remains uncertain as at least four Republicans would need to break ranks to defeat the bill, and many members feel pressured to approve the legislation with limited time for scrutiny. Discussions between Republican hardliners and the White House continue as the deadline approaches.
