Rep. Don Bacon defended Trump's $4 trillion tax bill, arguing its middle-class benefits while addressing GOP concerns over Medicaid cuts and mounting deficit fears.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Up all night, House Republicans voted pre-dawn Thursday to advance President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts package, recouping after GOP leaders worked almost around the clock trying to persuade skeptical holdouts as they race to send the bill to his desk by the Fourth of July deadline.

House Republicans muscled the “big, beautiful bill” through a procedural hurdle on the floor overnight Thursday, setting the legislation up for a final vote as the conference works to get it to President Donald Trump’s desk by July 4.
