This sweeping bill, awaiting approval by the Senate, covers a wide range of spending, from tax policy to funding for mass deportations and funds allocated to the Pentagon. To get it passed, the US president put intense pressure on lawmakers in his own party.

The victory for Republicans came after Speaker Mike Johnson made concessions to holdouts in several factions and President Trump pressured the party to fall in line.

The House of Representatives passed a massive tax and spending bill early this morning by one vote, moving a key part of President Donald Trump’s agenda forward. The vote as 215-214, with two Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition.
