The bill cleared a key hurdle early this morning after the president and House Speaker Mike Johnson persuaded a group of Republican holdouts to change their votes.

The House on Thursday passed the signature piece of legislation of President Trump's second term, approving his "big, beautiful bill" by a vote of 218 to 214.

President Trump has been urging lawmakers to send him the bill to sign into law by July 4, but also acknowledged the timeline is flexible.
