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 House floor was in suspended animation all afternoon and evening and then again through midnight as GOP leaders held votes open. For a while, there were five Republicans voting against a procedural motion—enough to block the bill—and Trump was posting on social media to urge them to get in line. They relented after 3 a.m.

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 and putting it on track for final passage.
