“It was not good enough for me to vote for that,” said Massie, who also voted against the initial bill of the Chamber, told journalists after her “no”.

The successful vote on the final adoption intervened after the Democratic leader of the Hakeem Jeffries chamber spoke to the ground of the Chamber for more than eight hours in opposition to the president’s signature bill, establishing a record of the longest speech on the soil of the lowest room in history.

“It takes much more time to explain a lie than to tell the truth,” said President Mike Johnson in response during a later speech before the vote on final adoption.

Johnson could afford to save a handful of GOP defections since the Republicans of Chamber 220 to 212 majority.

Conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus, who mocked against the bill modified by the Senate and undertook to vote against the legislation citing its increase in budgetary deficits, finally gave the legislation their seal of approval.

It was not immediately clear what specific commitments the Hawks were received from the White House, but several selected declared that Trump the assurance that he would strictly apply the phase of the credit of the solar tax and the wind had persuaded them to vote “yes”.

The Chamber did not change the bill modified by the Senate given the desire for the management of the GOP of the White House and the Chamber to adopt the bill immediately before the deadline of the President of July 4.

The adoption of Trump’s signature legislation is the culmination of approximately 15 months of work that the Republicans of the Congress undertook to write and adopt a bill on budget reconciliation. The Congress Republicans struck several hungs throughout the so -called budget reconciliation process, but Johnson and the head of the majority of the Senate John Thune managed to quickly direct the legislation through their respective rooms despite thin margins.

The leadership of the House GOP has attributed their success in part not to advance the deadline despite the pleas of the Conservatives.

“Whenever he seemed to die, we simply gave no one that this chance of letting the bill are falling,” said the head of majority in the House, Steve Scalizes, to journalists on Thursday morning. “There were members last night saying:” Let us delay the vote again. Let’s close this vote and return home and we will come back tomorrow and resume. “”

“We could have done it 100 times, and we would be here until December and would probably not have an invoice, but we have never issued a deadline,” continued Scalise.

Johnson also praised the role that Trump and officials in his administration also played in the persuasion of assets to support the president’s signature bill.

“The president helped answer questions. We had cabinet secretaries involved and experts in all areas, and I think they [holdouts] answered their questions, ”said the speaker.

Johnson, who spent the majority of Wednesday and night on Thursday and overnight on Thursday to support the president’s signature legislation, advanced with a procedural vote at 9:30 p.m. despite the members of the Freedom House Caucus and other conservative legislators threatening to help defeat the rule by voting “no” or not having voted at all.

Johnson called the Holdouts bluff and let the vote open for about six hours while his management team and the White House worked to return the legislators. The Chamber then voted to advance the president’s signature bill to a vote on the final passage around 3:30 am

Fitzpatrick was the legislative GOP legislator to vote “no” on the adoption of the rule to launch a debate on the bill of the president.

Each Democrat in the House was present and voted “no” at the start of the debate on the bill on the president’s domestic policy and the vote on final adoption.

“This is the legislative process,” said Johnson to journalists before the procedural vote. “This is exactly how I think the editors wanted it to work.

“We feel very well where we are, and we are going ahead,” continued Johnson. “So we are going to deliver the great and beautiful bill, the president’s first program in America, and we will do the good of the American people.”

Trump, that many Congress Republicans have called “closest”, because of its effectiveness in the overthrow of selected to support the progress of his bill on internal politics in a wave of votes since March, several statements exclaimed the conservatives after refusing to quickly advance his signature bill on Wednesday evening.

“The most important tax reductions in history and a booming economy compared to the greatest increase in history taxes, and a failed economy. What are the Republicans waiting ??? ” Trump wrote on the social social media platform. “What are you trying to prove ??? Maga is not happy, and it costs you votes !!!”

Three hours later, the sealed would vote “yes” on the procedural vote shortly after 3 am, they would support the bill for the second time during a vote on the final passage later Thursday afternoon.

The final budget reconciliation bill includes an amazing amount of Trump’s political priorities in a bill of 870 pages.

The legislation would adopt a permanent extension of Trump’s tax reductions in 2017, would deliver the president’s campaign promises to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime and permanently increase the children’s tax credit to $ 2,200.

The budget bill also provides hundreds of billions of dollars of new border and defense expenses while reducing compulsory expenses of more than $ 1.5 billion over a decade, including the slowdown in the growth of Medicaid spending by approximately a dollars billion over a period of ten years.
