Recently, the voting process surrounding the "H.R.1 Bill" has attracted widespread attention from the U.S. Congress. President Trump has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the internal disputes within the Republican Party that have delayed the bill from entering the final voting stage, calling it "a great beautiful bill." At this critical juncture, the shift in position of Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has become the focus of public opinion—during the key procedural resolution vote H. Res. 566 that determines whether the bill can enter the final vote, he changed his initial supportive stance to cast a dissenting vote.

Despite Massie's "defection," the procedural resolution narrowly passed with a vote of 212 in favor and 211 against. This deadlocked voting result highlights the serious divisions within the Republican Party and suggests that the party leadership may be forced to reassess the content of the bill, adjusting its provisions or making compromises to gain more support from party members, ensuring the bill can smoothly pass the final vote.

It is worth noting that if the content of the bill is modified, it may require another procedural vote. Even if the bill passes smoothly in the House of Representatives, it still needs to reach a consensus with the Senate: either by establishing a conference committee to negotiate a unified version or by the Senate directly voting on the version passed by the House, leaving the subsequent process still full of uncertainties. $BTC
