The House on Thursday passed the signature piece of legislation of President Trump's second term, approving his "big, beautiful bill" by a vote of 218 to 214.

The bill cleared a key hurdle early this morning after the president and House Speaker Mike Johnson persuaded a group of Republican holdouts to change their votes.

President Trump has been urging lawmakers to send him the bill to sign into law by July 4, but also acknowledged the timeline is flexible.
