"Big Beautiful Bill" Passes House, Goes to Trump's Desk for Signing

GOP Congressman just texted me:

"I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I'm a firm yes."

Passed!

Congress has officially passed President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" on Thursday afternoon after back-to-back sleepless sessions for both the House and Senate.

The massive agenda bill now goes to Trump's desk to be signed into law just in time for Republicans' self-imposed Fourth of July deadline.

The bill -- which advances Trump's policies on tax, the border, defense, energy and the national debt -- narrowly passed the House of Representatives in a mostly party-line vote.

It's a commanding victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and for the president himself, both of whom spent hours overnight trying to persuade GOP critics of the bill.

"The President is very engaged. He was very helpful 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 for us to get it done," Johnson told reporters the morning ahead of the vote.

The House initially passed its version of the legislation by just one vote in late May.
