Donald Trump's self-described "big, beautiful" tax bill has officially passed the House of Representatives and is now headed to the Senate.
The legislation extends tax cuts that primarily benefit the highest earners, increases funding for the military and immigration enforcement, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, reduces funding for Medicaid and food stamps, and ends tax incentives for clean energy.
Per an NBC report, the Congressional Budget Office expects the bill to add $2.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, as the cost of tax breaks and new spending far exceeds savings.
The bill squeaked through by a single vote (215 to 214). All Democrats opposed it, joined by just two Republicans: Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
