#TRUMP 's Bill Faces Setbacks as GOP Votes Split

House Speaker Mike Johnson is in a race against time to secure enough support for a crucial vote on Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” With only three defections allowed, the bill is facing resistance from five Republican lawmakers, putting the vote in jeopardy.

Key Opposition:

The current “no” votes include:

Rep. Andrew Clyde (Georgia): Opposes due to the removal of a provision on firearm silencers.

Rep. Victoria Spartz (Indiana): A fiscal conservative who opposes the procedural vote but may support the bill itself.

Rep. Keith Self (Texas): Disagrees with the updated version of the bill.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania): A centrist who surprised GOP leaders with his opposition.

Rep. Thomas Massie (Kentucky): Voted “no” on a key procedural motion.

The Bill's Key Provisions:

Tax Cuts: The bill makes several tax cuts permanent, including for businesses and individuals, and introduces new temporary benefits.

Defense & Immigration: About $350 billion allocated for defense and immigration enforcement, including border security and ICE funding.

Medicaid & SNAP: Cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs (SNAP), alongside stricter work requirements for Medicaid recipients.

Debt Impact: The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill will add around $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

Tax Policy Impact:

Low-income Americans: Receive an average tax break of $150 next year.

Middle-income Americans: Benefit from a $1,750 tax cut.

Top earners: Get a $10,950 tax cut.

Next Steps:

Speaker Johnson is keeping the vote open, hoping to sway the holdouts. The bill’s future depends on securing enough votes before it moves forward.

Trump remains optimistic, rallying the GOP with his message: “Pro-growth tax cuts never fail. Let’s make America great again!”
