House Republicans on Thursday passed President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” so it can be sent to his desk in time for the Fourth of July holiday.
The passage marks a significant achievement for House Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump, who corralled Republican hardliners all day Wednesday in order to get the necessary support. Some House Republicans opposed things like Medicaid reform and caps on state and local tax deductions.
The bill passed by a 218-214 vote, which included a flip from Ohio GOP Rep. Warren Davidson, who voted against the bill during the House’s first passage in May. All Democrats voted against the bill. GOP Reps. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, of Pennsylvania, were the only House Republicans who voted against the bill.
Johnson addressed the media after the bill’s passage, stating that what fueled Republican lawmakers to set an ambitious timeline to pass the legislation was “belief.”
“We had a vision for what we want to do as a group,” Johnson said. “We believed in the election cycle last fall that we were going to be given this blessing of a unified government. We had the White House, the Senate and the House in alignment. We did not want to waste that opportunity because we understand the history that comes along with it. The opportunity that we can do for the country and we believed that we would have that chance, and I believe in the people standing here behind me.”
Johnson praised his fellow lawmakers for working with him to get the giant legislation across the finish line, claiming that even those who opposed the megabill were trying to serve their country and constituents.
“You could not find greater public servants than the people standing in the room right here. They will give their all for their country and man, that’s what the framers intended when they put this thing together,” Johnson added.
The legislation returned to the lower chamber after the Senate made a significant number of changes in order to pass it on Tuesday.
Trump is expected to sign the bill promptly.
