The US House of Representatives has passed a $4.5 trillion legislative package, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with a narrow margin of 218-214 votes. The bill, a key component of President Trump's second-term agenda, includes provisions to make his 2017 tax cuts permanent, deliver new tax breaks, and fund his immigration crackdown. The bill was passed despite opposition from Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who held the floor for over eight hours, and now heads to the White House for President Trump's signature.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Our Party is UNITED like never before and our Country is hot.
2. Biggest tax cut in history, great for security, great on the southern border, immigration is covered. We covered just about everything.
3. FOR REPUBLICANS, THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY YES VOTE.
4. In just a few moments, we will remind the world why the American experiment still endures today and why its best days are still ahead of us.
5. We're celebrating the biggest bill of its kind ever signed and it's going to make this country into a rocket ship.
James David Vance

1. Congrats to everyone. At times I even doubted we'd get it done by July 4! But now we've delivered big tax cuts and the resources necessary to secure the border. Promises made, promises kept!
Mike Johnson
Republican Party
1. Today we are laying a key cornerstone of America's new Golden Age.
2. It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple truth.
3. I believed in this vision. I believed in the group. I believe in America.
4. We've waited long enough. Some of us have literally been up for days now.
5. With this One Big Beautiful Bill, we are going to make this country stronger, safer and more prosperous than ever before, and every American is going to benefit from that.
6. We have a government that is accountable and responsible to the people once again.
Thomas Massie
Republican Party
1. I voted No on final passage because it will significantly increase U.S. budget deficits in the near term, negatively impacting all Americans through sustained inflation and high interest rates.
Lisa Murkowski
Republican Party
1. Let's not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process — a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution.
2. It is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs — Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits — that our most vulnerable populations rely on.
Brian Fitzpatrick
Republican Party
1. The original House language was written in a way that protected our community; the Senate amendments fell short of our standard.
Virginia Foxx
Republican Party
1. Historic tax relief for working families. Massive investment to secure our nation's borders. Capturing generational savings. Slashing waste, fraud and abuse in government programs so that they may run more efficiently.
Hakeem Jeffries
Democratic Party
1. I'm here to take my sweet time on behalf of the American people.
2. The one 'big, beautiful bill' has passed the House of Representatives and will be at the president's desk for signature at a big, beautiful signing ceremony tomorrow at 5 p.m. on the Fourth of July, just as the president always said and hoped it would be.
3. We're not here to bend the knee to any wannabe king.
4. Donald Trump's deadline may be Independence Day. That ain't my deadline.
