House Republicans push to pass president's spending bill before July 4 break

House Republicans are working urgently to pass President Trump’s tax and spending bill before the July 4 holiday, facing opposition from Democrats and some Republican holdouts. Despite delays and a procedural vote where Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick joined Democrats in opposition, GOP leaders are determined to move forward, emphasizing the bill’s extensions of Trump-era tax cuts and funding for defense and deportations. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats criticize the bill for cutting federal aid and healthcare for millions, while President Trump remains committed to passing the bill quickly to avoid further legislative changes.
