On July 3, 2025, the House of Representatives passed President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R.1) by a razor-thin 218-215 vote, marking a monumental triumph for his America First agenda.
The 1000+ page bill, which cleared the Senate 51-50 on July 1 with Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote, extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, allocates billions for border security, including new detention centers, and slashes Medicaid and SNAP funding to offset its $3.3 trillion cost over a decade, per the Congressional Budget Office.
