The House on Thursday passed the signature piece of legislation of President Trump's second term, approving his "big, beautiful bill" by a vote of 218 to 214.

The Republican package would slash taxes, boost spending on immigration enforcement and the military, and impose steep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding.

The legislation, which extends tax cuts and funds border and defense programs, would increase the national debt by close to $4 trillion over the next decade.
