Congress Approves Trump’s Sweeping Domestic Agenda in Narrow Vote

In a landmark legislative victory for President Donald Trump, the U.S. Congress has passed a massive $4.5 trillion domestic policy bill, delivering on a wide array of Republican priorities. Dubbed by supporters as the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the 887-page package was approved by a razor-thin margin of 218–214 in the House, following a 51–50 Senate vote where Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.

The legislation extends Trump-era tax cuts from 2017 and introduces new deductions, including for tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits. It also boosts military and immigration enforcement spending, allocating $350 billion for national security initiatives and mass deportation efforts.

To offset some of the revenue loss, the bill imposes $1.2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and clean energy programs. Critics warn that these reductions could leave nearly 12 million Americans without health coverage and significantly impact low-income families.

Democrats unanimously opposed the bill, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delivering a record-breaking 8-hour, 44-minute speech condemning the legislation as “trickle-down cruelty” and a “disgusting abomination”.

President Trump is expected to sign the bill into law on July 4th, marking a defining moment in his second term and setting the stage for contentious midterm elections in 2026.
