House passes Trump-backed bill, tightening his grip on the Republican Party despite backlash over debt and cuts to Medicaid.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" contains an array of tax and spending measures. Tax cuts Trump introduced in 2017 would be made permanent, while state and local tax deductions would increase from $10,000 to $40,000—primarily benefiting those living in high-tax states.

Republicans in the House of Representatives on Wednesday struggled to pass President Donald Trump's massive tax-cut and spending bill as a handful of hardliners withheld their support over concerns about its cost.
