US House passes Trump tax and spending mega-bill

Update: Date: 13:15 BST Title: Trump's centrepiece budget plan explained in 100 words Content: Trump, and other Republicans, have been calling this the "big, beautiful" bill. Centring on tax and spending cuts - the legislation would take tax cuts brought in during Trump's first term as well as bringing in additional measures. Other priorities for the president are to eliminate taxes on tips, spend more on defence and border security and cut government health care programmes including Medicaid - a healthcare programme aimed at lower-income Americans. The bill had been met with criticism from some Republicans, as well as the Democrats. Some were concerned the cuts would be detrimental to lower-income individuals, others wanted the bill to go further. Update: Date: 13:03 BST Title: 'The fight is just beginning', Democrats say Content: Calling the bill the "GOP Tax Scam", the Democrats have pledged to use "every tool at [their] disposal" to fight against it. In a joint statement written by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, they say: "Donald Trump's One Big Ugly Bill will mean millions of families will pay higher premiums, copays and deductibles. "Hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down and communities will suffer." The statement says the bill is "deeply unpopular" - accusing the Republicans of advancing it "during the dead of night". "For more than 28 hours, beginning with Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern, Democrats forced Republicans to debate this toxic legislation before the American people," it continues. "This fight is just beginning." Update: Date: 12:47 BST Title: Watch moment Trump's mega-bill passes in the House Content: This video can not be played Moment Trump's 'mega-bill' passes in the US House of Representatives Update: Date: 12:37 BST Title: A 'once-in-a-generation legislation', says Speaker Mike Johnson Content: We can now bring you some reaction from House Speaker Mike Johnson who calls the bill a "generational, nation-shaping legislation". In a statement published after the bill had been passed, he writes: "The media and the Democrats have consistently dismissed any possibility of House Republicans succeeding in our mission to enact President Trump's American First agenda. "Once again they have been proven wrong." Johnson adds that House Democrats voted against the bill - suggesting this proves they want things like "tax hikes" and "open borders". "We look forward to the Senate's timely consideration of this once-in-a-generation legislation and stand ready to continue our work together to deliver The One Big Beautiful Bill to the president's desk." Update: Date: 12:19 BST Title: Trump's 'big, beautiful, bill' now heads to the Senate Content: Mike WendlingBBC News Many of US President Donald Trump's top priorities are in the legislation: extending tax cuts passed in 2017, eliminating taxes on tips, spending more on defence and border security, and cutting government health care programmes. The president has called his proposal a "big, beautiful, bill" – the measure is now officially known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the bill would add about $2.3tn (£1.7tn) to the US national debt over the next 10 years. Trump campaigned on promises to reduce the US budget deficit - meaning the annual gap between the government's tax revenue and its spending - which currently stands at around $36.2tn (£27tn). Now that the bill has won approval in the House, it will head to the Republican-led Senate, which could make its own changes. Update: Date: 12:13 BST Title: Bill passes 215 to 214 Content: The package passed the House on party lines - 215 votes to 214. "Legislation of this magnitude is truly nation shaping and life changing," said House Speaker Mike Johnson before the vote, which capped an all-night debate. "It's the kind of transformational change that future generations will study one day. "They'll look back at this day as a turning point in American history." Update: Date: 12:06 BST Title: Trump's 'mega-bill' passes the House Content: A massive tax and spending bill has just been passed by the US House of Representatives. The so-called mega-bill would extend tax cuts from President Donald Trump's first term, end taxes on tips, and increase military and border spending. The bill still needs to pass the Senate.
