() The House is expected to vote on President Donald Trump’s lengthy tax-cut bill early Thursday morning after marathon overnight meetings and eleventh-hour changes.

Despite having no Democratic support, House speaker Mike Johnson said the bill is on track and that he expects it to pass through the House and into the Senate where it would face another uphill battle.

“To our friends in the Senate, I would just say the president is waiting with his pen,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said minutes before the vote began.

The massive bill faced multiple last-minute alterations catering to Republican holdouts, including quadrupling the cap on state and local tax deductions for some households and speeding up the implementation of new work requirements for some Medicaid beneficiaries.

Those revisions were unveiled just before an overnight session to debate and vote on the bill kicked off Wednesday.

Republicans will need just about every vote they can get to pass this cornerstone piece of Trump’s agenda.

Trump has touted the plan as his “one big, beautiful bill” and the “biggest tax cut in the history of our country.” An analysis from the Congressional Budget Office found the lowest-income households in the United States would see their resources drop if it were made law.

The office also predicted Trump’s changes would increase federal deficits by $3.8 trillion over the next decade.

Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries called Republicans “a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s extreme agenda” during his Thursday morning remarks.
