Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" Passes House, Faces Uncertain Future in Senate
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" passed the House after weeks of intense negotiations within the Republican party. The bill, central to President Trump's agenda, includes substantial tax cuts and provisions for border wall construction. ABC News' Jay O'Brien, reporting live from Capitol Hill, noted that the bill's passage was achieved by a single vote, following all-night sessions. "There were negotiations up until late into yesterday," O'Brien stated, highlighting the challenges Speaker Johnson faced in securing enough votes. One significant change involved increasing the cap on state and local tax deductions, a concession to holdout Republicans from states like New York and California. However, the bill's journey is far from over. Senate Republicans have already indicated their intention to amend the legislation, potentially leading to further negotiations and a return to the House. The final version of the bill remains uncertain, but its passage marks a significant development in the ongoing political landscape.
