President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” intending to target tax cuts, a secure border, and more, passed the House of Representatives, in a 215-214 vote.

Trump, in a , stressed his disbelief in the Democrats’ ability to take action and dubbed it the most significant piece of legislation signed in history.

“There is no time to waste,” Trump said. “The Democrats have lost control of themselves, and are aimlessly wandering around, showing no confidence, grit, or determination.鈥

Washington state’s congressional delegation joined Democrats in unanimously opposing the bill. The pair of Washington Republicans supported the bill.

Significant amendments to the big, beautiful bill

Republicans revised the bill ahead of the House floor vote. The package includes tax cuts for individuals and businesses, updated work requirements for Medicaid, and funding for Trump’s mass deportation operation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson made several last-minute changes to the bill to address some Republican opposition.

Speaker Johnson’s proposed revisions included a $40,000 federal deduction limit for state and local taxes (SALT), up from the initial $30,000 proposal. There is currently a $10,000 limit on the SALT deductions.

The “big, beautiful bill” now heads to the Republican-controlled Senate, where it will face further amendments over the next several weeks of debate. Trump and GOP leadership hope to have a bill finalized by Independence Day.
