After hours of delay in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday and early Thursday morning, President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" appears to have enough votes to be passed into law.
The bill is supported by all of Alabama's Republican members in the House. Due to Republicans having a narrow majority in the House, unanimous opposition from Democrats and a few Republican opponents is enough to block the bill from going to Trump's desk to be signed into law.
However, House Republicans narrowly passed the bill in a lengthy overnight test vote session and are poised for a successful final passage on early Thursday morning.
U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said late Wednesday night, "President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill gives us the resources to undo Biden's border invasion and provides the largest tax cut in history for American families."
"I'm prepared to wait as long as it takes to get this landmark legislation across the finish line," Moore said.
U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) told 1819 News, " “The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the America First agenda in a fiscally responsible way. Getting this bill to the President’s desk fulfills promises of an economy that is pro-growth, pro-family, pro-business, and pro-worker.”
“It also continues to support the most vulnerable in our society while helping able-bodied individuals get back to work,” Aderholt said.
