House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump scored a huge victory as the “big, beautiful bill” passed the House late Thursday. This win came after intense negotiations that lasted all night. Republicans fought hard to push through this important legislation for the American people.
The final vote was 218-214, showing just how close it was. Only two Republicans, Thomas Massie and Brian Fitzpatrick, joined Democrats to vote against it. Speaker Johnson managed to flip dozens of GOP members who initially threatened to vote no. This showed real leadership strength.
President Trump played a key role in getting the bill passed. He met with holdouts at the White House and stayed involved all evening. Trump posted on Truth Social, telling Republicans this should be an easy yes vote. His direct involvement made the difference in getting the votes needed.
House leaders worked through the night in a room off the House floor. Freedom Caucus members camped out there during negotiations. Johnson and his team kept the vote open for hours while they talked to holdouts. They refused to give up until they had the votes.
Speaker Johnson celebrated the win, asking if Republicans were tired of winning yet. He called the bill “real, positive change that everyday Americans can feel.” Johnson promised it would help Louisiana and the whole country with great tax policy.
Democrats fought hard against the bill. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke for a record 8 hours and 44 minutes on the House floor. He called the bill an assault on American values and immigrant families. But Republicans stood strong against these attacks.
Johnson revealed more executive orders are coming soon to support the new law. He said this might not be the last big tax bill either. Republicans hope to pass two more reconciliation packages this Congress to keep winning for America.
This bill is a major achievement for the Trump-Johnson partnership. It shows what strong conservative leadership can do for our country. Hardworking Americans will finally get the tax relief and pro-growth policies they deserve.
