Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” Passes House After Epic Liberal Meltdown [WATCH]

July 4, 2025

The House of Representatives on Thursday passed President Donald Trump’s long-anticipated “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” clearing a key hurdle for a legislative package that includes major tax reforms, enhanced border security, and significant spending realignments.

The final vote was 218–214, with just two Republicans—Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.)—opposing the measure.

The bill’s passage came after one of the longest series of floor votes and debates in House history, including what is now the chamber’s longest procedural vote and a nearly nine-hour speech from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

In the hours leading up to the vote, President Trump met at the White House with more than a dozen Republican holdouts and took to his Truth Social account shortly after midnight to urge passage of the bill.

“Largest Tax Cuts in History and a Booming Economy vs. Biggest Tax Increase in History, and a Failed Economy. What are the Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove??? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY, AND IT’S COSTING YOU VOTES!!!” Trump wrote.

He later added, “FOR REPUBLICANS, THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY YES VOTE. RIDICULOUS!!!”

At 3:37 a.m., the House voted 219–213 to begin debate on the bill.

Several holdouts, including Reps. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Keith Self (R-Texas), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.), flipped their votes to support the measure.

Only Rep. Fitzpatrick remained opposed among Republicans.

“There couldn’t be a more engaged and involved president,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who praised the administration’s persistence and coordination with Congress.

Johnson explained that concerns over amendments made by the Senate had required additional time for review by members. “So I gave them the space,” he said.

The 870-page bill was revised by the Senate and passed earlier this week in a 51–50 vote.

The GOP used the budget reconciliation process to bypass the 60-vote Senate filibuster threshold and moved quickly to meet the July 4 deadline for President Trump to sign it into law.

Among the bill’s provisions are a permanent extension of key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, $150 billion in additional border security funding—including $46.5 billion for border wall construction—and increased investment in energy development and national defense.

Defense spending includes $25 billion for President Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system and $29 billion for naval shipbuilding.

The legislation also includes discretionary spending cuts and a $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling.

Delays in the vote were caused in part by severe weather, which prevented some lawmakers from returning to Washington, D.C., on time. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) was among those affected, missing his wife’s birthday as he waited at the Capitol to vote.

Democrats also slowed the process. Rep. Jeffries used his “magic minute” to read letters from constituents concerned about Medicaid changes, speaking for nearly nine hours and surpassing the previous record held by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy during a 2021 filibuster.

“It’s an utter waste of everyone’s time, but you know, that’s part of the system here,” Speaker Johnson said.

“It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple truth,” he added in a floor speech just before the final vote.

According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the original House version would have added $3 trillion to the deficit over ten years.

The revised Senate version is projected to add $3.9 trillion.

The Senate modifications include permanent extensions to business tax credits, including those for research and development.

Moderates raised concerns over Medicaid cuts, while fiscal conservatives objected to the overall increase in deficit spending.

The bill raises the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions to $40,000 for individuals earning under $500,000 through 2029, a concession to blue-state Republicans.

During negotiations, the Trump administration indicated it would explore executive actions to tighten Medicaid access for illegal aliens.

Discussions are also ongoing regarding a second reconciliation bill to address additional concerns raised by members.
