The House of Representatives of the Republicans passed a wide package of tax benefits from many dollars, which after weeks of negotiations with conservative content was a narrow victory for President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.
The “big, beautiful bill” Trump came with 215 votes to 214, with two Republicans joining the Democrats to oppose it and one vote.
He is now heading to the Senate, which will be able to approve or change the provisions of the bill.
The US president’s allies on the Capitol hill marked their passage as a victory, and Johnson said “again returns Americans to victory.”
The legislation of the long -term priority policy of Trump, which is rapidly continuing to the emergence of taxes adopted during its first administration in 2017, and also provides an influx of money to protect and finance the mass deportations of the president.
It also temporarily eliminates overtime taxes and tips – both key promises of Trump made during his successful 2024 presidential campaign.
“What we’re going to do here this morning is really historically, and it will make all the difference in everyday life of hard -working Americans,” Johnson said on the floor before the vote.
In addition, the bill makes significant costs, including the Medicaid healthcare program for low -income Americans, as well as Snap, a food program used by more than 42 million Americans.
These cuts were the subject of intensive friction Among the Republicans who finally was overcome after the president went to the Capitol hill on Tuesday. He in private ordered the legislators to postpone his objections or face the consequences.
The Democrats also severely opposed the bill and warned that reductions could have grave consequences for millions of smaller income.
“Children will be injured. Women will be injured. Elderly Americans who count on Medicaid for home care and home care will be injured,” the house said on the floor.
“People with disabilities that count on Medicaid to survive will be injured. Hospitals in your areas will be closed. The nursing homes will be closed,” he added. “And people will die.”
The next day, the White House statement warned that the administration would not adopt the bill as a “final betrayal”.
The legislation, however, comes with a massive price tag. It is estimated to add 5.2 tH (£ 3.9 tN) to the US and increase the budget deficit by about $ 600 billion in the next fiscal year.
Those who stand on the eyes – and the prospect of paying on the balloons – were some of the reasons that the Moody’s Financial Rating Agency Last week reduced the US credit rating.
A long document from more than 1000 pages was published a few hours before the legislators were asked to vote for it, it means that there may be other provisions and the lines have not yet been identified.
The Senate must also approve the bill and can make some changes in the process. When legislators do there, he will return to the house for another vote with high shares with the potential to go wrong.
In truth, the Social, Trump called on the Senate to send the bill to his task “as soon as possible”.
One of the first points that the senators will have to decide is the report of the Congress’ budget office that the increase in the home bill provokes the provision of the Law on 2011, which provides for approximately $ 500 billion when reducing Medicare costs, a health insurance program for the elderly.
Trump has pledged not to touch this popular public service – and Republicans will probably face the political price if they do not set up the rules to avoid mandatory cuts.
Democrats are obliged to use today’s voting against Republicans in the election elections next year, emphasizing other costs-including low-income health insurance, state research and environmental costs-and tax reduction for wealthy ones.
Even the Republicans of Congress celebrate the victory, the potatoes of the majority of the Republican House are vulnerable to even small shifts in public sentiment. Medium terms can turn this camera to Democrats and stop Trump’s legislative order.
