“It looks like the House is ready to vote tonight,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“We had GREAT conversations all day, and the Republican House Majority is UNITED, for the Good of our Country, delivering the Biggest Tax Cuts in History and MASSIVE Growth. Let’s go Republicans, and everyone else – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added.
It’s unclear whether enough House Republicans will support the bill to pass it. Several House Republicans have voiced concerns about the bill, which the Senate changed when they passed it in a tied vote broken by Vice President JD Vance. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the changes “went a little further than many of us would’ve preferred.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he won’t vote for the bill. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), who previously also said he wouldn’t vote for the bill, has changed his mind.
“This bill isn’t perfect, but it’s the best we’ll get & includes major wins,” he wrote in a post on X.
Trump also trashed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for blasting Trump’s budget bill. Democrats have slammed the bill for cutting Medicaid benefits, among various other items.
“Rep. Jamie Raskin, a third rate Democrat politician, has no idea what is in our fantastic Tax Cut Bill, nor would he understand it if he did,” he wrote. “This DOPE has been consistently losing to me for YEARS, and I love watching his ugly face as he is forced to consistently concede DEFEAT TO TRUMP — And tonight should be another of those nights. Raskin is a bad politician, and a TOTAL LOSER!”
