The Republican-controlled U.S. House on Thursday advanced President Donald Trump‘s comprehensive tax and spending megabill by a narrow 219-213 vote, marking a critical legislative victory after internal GOP divisions nearly derailed the measure.
What Happened: The procedural vote to begin final debate represents a significant win for Republican leadership seeking to deliver on Trump’s second-term policy agenda ahead of his self-imposed July 4 deadline, reported CNBC. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) spent hours corralling his razor-thin majority after several Republican members initially refused to support the measure.
