NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The congress officially adopted “One Big, Beau Bill” by President Donald Trump Thursday afternoon after sessions without sleeping sleep for the Chamber and the Senate.

The massive bill on the agenda is now at Trump’s office to be promulgated just in time for the self-imposed deadline for the Republicans on July 4.

The bill – which advances Trump’s policies on taxes, the border, the defense, the energy and the national debt – narrowly adopted the House of Representatives during a vote mainly online. All the Republicans except two, the representatives Thomas Massie, R-Ky., And Brian Fitzpatrick, R-P-P., Voted for the bill, which adopted 218 to 214.

It is a dominant victory for President Mike Johnson, R-La., And for the president himself, who both spent hours during the night trying to persuade criticism of the GOP of the bill.

“The President is very committed. He was very useful in the process. He helped answer questions and articulate his vision and what this bill will mean for the country, and his agenda, and how urgent it is to do so,” Johnson told journalists in the morning.

The Chamber initially adopted its version of the legislation by a single vote at the end of May.

The Senate Republicans took the bill at the end of last month and adopted it after their own voting session in the marathon, also by a single vote – although the legislation has undergone key changes in the upper chamber.

House legislators were to return to Washington on Wednesday morning to start debating the bill, which included a procedural obstacle known as “rule vote”.

But even before the rule of the rule could begin, it was clear that the legislation had been a hemorrhage of the support of the moderates and the conservatives of the GOP chamber.

Moderate Republicans were one of the people concerned about the Senate bill bill, even more of the transmission of Medicaid costs to the states that have expanded their health benefits under the affordable care law (ACA), while the Conservatives were furious that these cuts were not far enough to mitigate what they considered excessive expenditure in other parts of the bill.

But the vote which was initially to occur on Wednesday morning was finally adopted after 3 am on Thursday, after which the Republicans and the Democrats began to debate.

Among the delay tactics of Democrats included a long speech by the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries House, Dn.y., who attacked the Republicans for their night schedule.

“If the Republicans were so proud of this great ugly bill, why did the debate started at 3:28 am? The Republicans are again, which was the case, Mr. President, at each stage of this trip, trying to block this bill through the House of Representatives covered with darkness,” said Jeffries.

But even before the debate, the fate of the legislation appeared in the limbo for a large part of Wednesday while the closed -door negotiations paralyzed the soil of the room.

Five Republicans had initially voted against the procedure with debate on the bill, while eight GOP legislators had not voted at all.

The future of the bill was uncertain on Wednesday evening, but rather than accepting the defeat, the leaders of the GOP in the House kept the vote opened for hours while negotiating with kept behind closed doors.

A room republican told Fox News Digital that Trump was directly involved in the fitting of persuading the retained.

The president, meanwhile, broadcast his frustrations on Truth Social, “for the Republicans, this should be an easy voting. Ridiculous !!!”

In the end, they returned to the ground of the house where almost all the Republicans – except for the moderate representative Brian Fitzpatrick, R -P -PA. – Voted to start debating the bill.

Johnson told journalists when he asked him questions about the defection of Fitzpatrick, “I spoke at length with him. Brian is a very good confidence, and he just has convictions concerning certain provisions of the bill, he is entitled to this.”

Meanwhile, the head of the majority of the chamber, Steve Scalizes, R-La., Told journalists that the criticisms were made to understand that the bill is their only option on the table.

“They admitted that it is the vote that is before us and that will not change. There are other things that we can do on the road, and we want to do. But we must do this bill first,” said Scalise.

The bill would permanently extend the income tax tranches lowered by the Trump Trump Trump (TCJA) Trump Reducts Act, while temporarily adding new tax deductions to eliminate rights over advocacy in matters of divers and overtime to certain ceilings. It also includes a new tax deduction for people aged 65 and over.

The legislation also refers to the tax credits on green energy implemented under the law on the reduction of inflation of former president Joe Biden, which Trump and his allies attacked as “the new green scam”.

The bill would also increase money to national defense and to the application of immigration and customs (ICE) in the name of Trump’s repression against illegal immigrants in the United States

The bill would also increase the limit of debt by $ 5 billion in order to avoid a potentially devastating lack of credit economically this summer, if the United States lacked liquidity to pay for its obligations.

New and enlarged work requirements would be implemented for Medicaid and federal food assistance, respectively.

The Democrats criticized the bill as a tax gift to the rich while reducing the federal advantages for the Americans of the working class.

But the Republicans declared that their tax provisions aimed at the work classes and the middle classes – citing measures eliminating the taxes on slope wages and overtime – while arguing that they reformed federal social protection programs to function better for those who really need them.

Conservative groups have also praised the bill, with Club for Growth, David McIntosh, tell Fox News Digital, “by preventing the greatest tax increase in history, going full expenses and starting to make key reductions in swollen programs and gifts that we organize our country to prosper in a new golden age.”

The main Republicans also welcomed the role of the bill and Johnson in its adoption.

“We have given historical tax alternatives for workers’ families, unprecedented investments for border security, devoid of the domination of American energy and massive unnecessary federal expenses,” Fox News Digital, the president of the Republican Study Committee, August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News. “After years of failed politicians, we intervened to put the Americans first and have held our promises. On July 4, 2025, we will return power in their place – with the American people.”

The president of the GOP political committee, Kevin Hern, R-Okla., Said that the bill “had taken incredible work to pass this bill through the finish line, starting several years ago with field hearings, stakeholder meetings and numerous research on niche tax policy”.
