The House narrowly passed Trump’s domestic policy bill Thursday following a dramatic all-night session and days of negotiations.
In a 215 to 214 vote, all but two House Republicans supported the massive budget package — the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump’s second-term agenda — in a vote that came hours after unveiling an updated version of the legislation that GOP leaders hoped would satisfy enough holdouts.
The measure cleared a critical procedural hurdle in the wee hours of the morning, teeing up the vote on final passage after days of consternation among the House Republican conference.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where some Republicans have already voiced some opposition. Congressional leaders have said they want to get it to Mr. Trump’s desk by July 4.
The effect of this law only takes places at the end of 2026. These pos know their bill is unpopular and they don’t want to see it happening before the midterms. At the same time, it is far enough from the 2028 election so people can forget and get distracted by some new email scandal.
It’s the same thing that happened with the last tax bill. Push dates out for the goldfish memory of most Americans to forget and then blame the opposition knowing you can block them trying to change it.
