House Advances Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in 220-212 Vote
The House clears a key hurdle for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in a tight 220-212 vote, setting the stage for a full debate and final vote.
- House passes procedural vote on Trump’s major tax-spending bill
- Bill includes tax cuts, spending cuts, and defense funding
- Final House vote expected ahead of July 4th
House Clears First Hurdle for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
In a narrow 220-212 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a procedural motion to advance former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending legislation, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” This crucial step means the bill will now move to full debate and a final floor vote.
The vote fell strictly along party lines, with Republicans using their slim majority to push the measure forward. The procedural win gives GOP leadership a short window to consolidate support and move toward final passage before the self-imposed July 4th deadline.
What’s Inside the Big Beautiful Bill
Trump’s bill is a bold and controversial package that blends several major policy goals:
- Tax Cuts: Extension of Trump-era tax breaks for individuals and corporations
- Spending Reductions: Deep cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and education grants
- Defense and Border Security: Increased military spending and major funding for border infrastructure
Supporters say the bill revives America’s economic edge and enforces fiscal responsibility. Critics argue it would inflate the national debt by over $3 trillion and harm vulnerable communities.
Final Vote Ahead Amid Republican Divisions
Despite clearing this procedural stage, passing the bill won’t be easy. Some conservative Republicans are pushing for deeper spending cuts, while moderates worry about political backlash from slashing public services.
If the bill passes the House, it must return to the Senate for reconciliation. The Senate previously approved an earlier version 51-50, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
The coming days will be decisive. Lawmakers must now debate the bill’s full text, propose amendments, and prepare for a final vote that could reshape the U.S. fiscal landscape.
