Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' stalls as fiscal hawks rebel | 2 July 2025 | President Donald Trump's legislative agenda temporarily ground to a halt in the House of Representatives Wednesday afternoon. Plans for an early afternoon vote to begin debate on Trump's "big, beautiful bill" slipped away as both conservative concerns and weather delays led to issues in passing two procedural votes ahead of the critical measure. It's not clear if the key vote will proceed today at this point. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., one of the bill's biggest critics, told reporters a vote was still "possible." House GOP leaders had hoped to vote to begin debate on the vast tax and immigration bill, a maneuver known as a "rule vote," with the goal of teeing up a vote on the legislation's final passage by late Wednesday or early Thursday at the latest.
