House passes tax and immigration bill, sending it to Trump's desk [View all]

Republicans on Thursday notched the first major legislative victory of President Donald Trump's second term, a mammoth tax and immigration agenda the GOP hopes will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration's accomplishments.

The House, in a 218 to 214 vote, passed Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill," a $3.4 trillion measure to extend tax cuts from Trump's first term and implement new campaign promises -- such as eliminating income taxes on tips and overtime wages -- while spending hundreds of billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and defense. It raises the country's borrowing cap by $5 trillion, staving off a debt default that the Treasury was weeks away from breaching.

The House's approval sends the bill to Trump's desk to be signed into law in time to beat a self-imposed July 4 deadline. The Senate passed its edition of the legislation Tuesday.

To offset the cost of the bill, the legislation cuts about $1 trillion from Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and people with disabilities, and other health care programs. It reduces spending on anti-hunger programs, including SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps, by $185 billion.
