Republicans in the House of Representatives remained awake throughout the night to pass the tax exemption package by billions of dollars, as the spokesman Mike Johnson challenges the skeptical and uniting his ranks to the draft law of the President of the Muscasters Donald Trump to approve it on Thursday.
With concessions at the last minute and flagrant warnings from President Trump, the Republican size has largely opposed their opposition to saving the “Great Great Law”, which is essential to the Republican Party’s work schedule. The House of Representatives launched a discussion before midnight and by Dawn, voting was called, 215-214, with Democrats strongly opposing. Next goes to the Senate.
Mr. Johnson from Louisiana said: “In the words of that, the draft law restores this Americans to win again,” said Mr. Johnson from Louisiana.
The results are back from intense time on the Capitol Hill, with days of private negotiations and general committees sessions, many of which occur around the clock. Republicans insisted on the sprawling package of more than 1000 pages to what voters sent to Congress-Mr. Trump to the White House-to accomplish it. They believe that it will be “missile fuel”, as one said during the discussion, for the unstable American economy.
Mr. Trump called for technology, and visiting Republicans in the House of Representatives at the conference meeting on Tuesday and hosting the leaders of the Republican Party and the series for a long session on Wednesday at the White House. Before voting, the administration warned in a pointed statement that “the failure to pass this law will be the final betrayal.”
The position of the Republican Party’s commitment to the package is to extend about $ 4.5 trillion in the tax exemptions they designed during the first term of Mr. Trump in 2017, while adding a new temporary campaign during his 2024 campaign, including any taxes on advice, payment of additional wage, car loan interest, and others.
To compensate for some lost tax revenues, Republicans focused on changes in the Medicaid program and Food Stamps, to a large extent by imposing work requirements on many advantages that receive. There is also a tremendous decline in the tax exemptions of green energy from the law to reduce inflation in the Biden era.
In addition, the package reaches $ 350 billion of new spending, with about $ 150 billion in the Pentagon, including the new president’s shield “the golden dome” of the president, the rest of Mr. Trump’s collective deportations and border security.
Finally, the Non -Partisan Congress Budget Office estimates 8.6 million people in obtaining health care coverage and 3 million people less monthly will get benefits for food stamps with proposed changes.
The Omani Central Bank said that tax provisions will increase the federal deficit by $ 3.8 trillion over the course of the contract, while the changes facing food stamps, stamps and other services will achieve $ 1 trillion of low spending. She said that the minimum income families in the United States will decrease their resources, while the highest families will see a batch.
Hakim Jeffrez leader of New York, the leader of the Democratic Parliament, has read messages from Americans who describe the way the program discounts will harm. “This is a major ugly bill,” he said.
As a minority, without sounds to stop the package of Mr. Trump, the Democrats instead presented excited speeches and procedural movements to stop their progress. Once reopened the House of Representatives for discussion, the Democrats forced a vote to postpone it. to fail.
“In the darkness of the night they want to pass this Republican Party’s tax,” said MP Beit Aguar.
Other Democrats described it as a “major and bad bill” or “a large broken promise.”
The gathering of the package together and pushing it to the passing of the massive political elevator of Johnson, with a few votes to spare it from the majority of the slim Republican party who have conflicting priorities in their ranks.
Conservatives, especially for freedom of freedom, stuck to discounts in the most severe costs of costs that accumulate on the debts of the country worth $ 36 trillion.
Meanwhile, the most moderate and medium Republican lawmakers have been cautious about the changes made on Medicaid that may lead to the loss of health care of their components. Others are concerned about the gradual disposal of the tax exemptions for renewable energy to hinder the companies that they use to invest in green energy projects in many states.
One of the major problems was the deal with the legislators of the Republican Party from New York and other high -tax states of $ 10,000 for government and local taxes, called Salt, to $ 40,000 for an income of up to $ 500,000, which were included in the final product.
Each junction has a faction that Johnson tried to satisfy, and another in the opposition.
Late at night, Republican Party leaders revealed a 42 -page amendment with a number of reviews.
The changes included a faster application for Medicaid’s work requirements, which will start in December 2026, instead of January 2029, and a faster decrease than production tax credits for clean electricity projects, both of which are searched for by conservatives.
It was also placed in the final version of some unexpected additions – including a $ 12 billion fund for the Ministry of Internal Security to pay the states that help federal officials deportation and border security.
Referring to President Trump’s influence, Republicans named the proposed new savings program after the president, and changed it from MAGA accounts – representing money for growth and progress – to Trump’s accounts simply.
Representative Eren Hochin, R-IND said. She said, “We can open the” golden age “of America, echoing the president’s words.
By early morning hours, the main Holotz seemed to fall into the queue. Representative Ralph Norman said, RS. They “got some improvements.”
But two Republicans voted against the package, including MP Thomas Massi, from Kentucky, a deficit observer who was exposed to public criticism by Mr. Trump, is not affected. He warned, “This is the draft law is a beating debt bomb.”
Representative Andy Harris, Chairman of the Freedom Board who wanted more time, voted present. Others did not vote.
The final analysis of the costs of the total package and economic effects is still evaluated.
In addition to extending the current tax exemptions, it will increase the standard income tax deduction, to $ 32,000 for joint employees, and increases the child tax credit to $ 2,500. There will be a reinforced discount, at a value of $ 4,000, for older adults of certain income levels, to help withstand taxes on social security income.
To reduce spending, those who are looking for medical health care, who are adults who are able to body without the Almighty, will need to fulfill 80 hours a month in a job or in other community activities.
Likewise, to receive food stamps through Snap, those who reach 64 years, instead of 54 years, who have the able body and without the dependents, will need to meet 80 hours per month work or society. In addition, some parents of children over the age of 7 will need to meet work requirements.
Republicans said they wanted to eradicate waste, fraud and ill -treatment in federal programs.
