Many Trump supporters on X were thrilled with the final vote.
$4.5 TRILLION in tax cuts. The left is about to lose their minds. Less money for the government, more money for the people. This is what winning looks like.

Others were worried that the resolution in its current form would balloon the national deficit.
That’s the main concern of Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. He was the lone Republican to vote against the resolution.
Thomas Massie because he wants to see more cuts to balance the budget. A lot of reps feel the same.

Hopefully, everything gets ironed out in the final bill in the next 60-90 days.
Unsurprisingly, no Democrats voted for the measure. Commenters say they know why.
Democrats don’t want to give seniors, waiters and other hard working Americans a tax cut? Not even one Democrat?

They want to die on the 20% side of every 80-20 issue

Democrats votes are not about the bills, they are against Trump, cause that's all it matters to them.

This is only a framework and more must be done to get it finalized.
Senate needs to support Trumps agenda or the Dems are going to be very happy. You never get everything you wants but this momentum must go forward. Then, one passed, they can work with the house on fine tuning the problem areas that they need resolved

Now it’s off to the Senate so they can mark it up and send it to Trump or back to the house right?!

Yeah… now get that through the Senate, huh?

This is a big win for Trump and republicans.
Up next, House committees will need to meet and build their proposals. These will then be put back into the framework to be negotiated so that a compromise deal can be reached with the Senate.
