After a long delay, the House is voting on a procedural motion, known as a rule, to advance the Trump megabill to the floor for full consideration. This is a high-stakes vote to see if Republicans can move forward on the megabill. It is a five-minute vote, but GOP leaders could hold the vote open for hours to flip holdouts.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) expressed confidence that the newly passed domestic policy legislation would help Republicans maintain their congressional majorities. Recent polling suggests voters don't approve of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law last week by President Donald Trump,

Five Republican congressmen including Mike Simpson of Idaho and Dan Newhouse of central Washington signaled Thursday they will vote against President Donald Trump’s budget bill if it emerges from the Senate with a public land sell-off provision.

After hours of Republican drama, the House on Thursday morning was nearing a final vote on President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill. Trump helped Speaker Mike Johnson pressure GOP holdouts into flipping their no votes to allow the measure to go forward in time to meet the president's self-imposed July Fourth deadline.

If Simpson and the other signatories stand firm, the One Big Beautiful Bill would fail by at least 217-215 if it still contains public land sales when it goes back to the House. | Opinion
