The House on Thursday morning passed the GOP tax and spending bill full of President Trump’s domestic priorities, sending it to the Senate for consideration. Passage, by the slimmest of margins, came after another all-nighter for many in the House.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) sounded triumphant in announcing the bill's passage in a social media post: "The media and the Democrats have consistently dismissed any possibility of House Republicans succeeding in our mission to enact President Trump's America First agenda. Once again, they have been proven wrong."
