House Passes Trump’s $4 Trillion Domestic Policy Bill in Narrow Vote
The House narrowly approved President Trump's sweeping $4 trillion domestic policy bill in a 218-214 vote, marking his most significant legislative victory since returning to office. The 887-page legislation now moves to the Oval Office for a planned Independence Day signing ceremony.
Republican leaders spent Wednesday wrangling holdouts from the House Freedom Caucus, with Speaker Mike Johnson conducting marathon negotiations on the House floor and at the WHITE House. The bill survived record-breaking procedural delays, including a nine-hour preliminary vote and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' nine-hour speech criticizing the legislation's scale and economic impact.
Only two Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill, while Democrats uniformly opposed what Jeffries called "fiscally irresponsible" policy. The Senate's earlier modifications to the bill nearly derailed final passage, with GOP leadership refusing further revisions to avoid additional delays.
