House Republicans early Thursday morning advanced President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” teeing up a final vote after a marathon day of negotiations and a dramatic overnight vote.
It was the second overnight session for Congress in a handful of days.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) kept the procedural vote, which would kick off debate, open for almost six hours as GOP leaders tried to convince a handful of Republicans to flip their votes in favor of the legislation and tried to win over those who haven’t yet to cast a ballot. It passed 219 to 213.
Trump spoke with some of the holdouts during the long impasse.
As the sun rose, after Republicans and Democrats offered debate on the bill, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) took the floor. He began telling stories of families using programs that the bill slashes, such as Medicaid and SNAP. As the minority party leader, he is given the privilege of a "magic minute," which allows a floor speech of unlimited time.
A final vote is expected sometime Thursday morning.
