Trump's Tax and Aid Overhaul Narrowly Clears House

News summary

President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' has narrowly passed the House by a 215-214 vote after last-minute changes, but faces a highly uncertain future in the Senate due to deep GOP divisions. The 1,116-page bill proposes sweeping tax reforms, including permanent 2017 tax cuts, new child tax credits, increased deductions for seniors, elimination of taxes on tips, and MAGA savings accounts for children. It also introduces significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, potentially leaving millions without health insurance and food assistance, and reduces funding for clean energy while boosting border security and military spending. Opposition has intensified among lawmakers and communities in high-tax and large Medicaid states like Michigan, Nevada, and Colorado. The Congressional Budget Office warns the bill may increase the national debt and could trigger Medicare cuts through sequestration. Senate Republicans are expected to demand major revisions, especially to provisions benefiting Democratic-led states.
