The bill cleared a key hurdle early this morning after the president and House Speaker Mike Johnson persuaded a group of Republican holdouts to change their votes.

The president exhorted Republicans to get behind the legislation after efforts to pass it hit resistance. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries decried the package in a record-long floor speech.

A group of House Republican holdouts fell in line behind President Donald Trump and agreed to allow his agenda to come to the floor — reversing course after days of threatening to block the bill from a final vote.
