House passes Trump spending bill ahead of July 4 deadline
The House passed President Donald Trump's spending bill just before the July 4 deadline, sending it to the White House for his signature. Despite opposition from fiscal conservatives and Democrats, the bill, which extends 2017 tax cuts and increases funding for border security and the military, passed without changes. House Speaker Mike Johnson credited Trump for persuading dissenters, while Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the bill's impact on healthcare and the national debt. The President plans to sign the bill during July 4 celebrations.
