House Vote on ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Faces Delay Amid Thomas Massie Flip
The House vote on the so-called 'Big Beautiful Bill' has been thrown into disarray following Representative Thomas Massie's unexpected opposition. His reversal has disrupted procedural votes needed to advance House Resolution 566, creating one of the longest voting sessions in recent congressional history.
Massie's fiscal concerns about the bill's impact on national debt have become a focal point of resistance. 'We cannot in good conscience add to the debt burden without clear offsets,' the Kentucky Republican stated during floor debate. The extended procedural voting has tested House leadership's ability to maintain cohesion within their ranks.
