How Speaker Mike Johnson Passed the GOP's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'

About this episode

The Republican tax-and-budget package squeaks through the House, 215-214, after late negotiations by the speaker to placate GOP fiscal hawks and SALT deduction enthusiasts. What are some of the highlights and lowlights of the 1,000-page bill, including on tax cuts, defense spending, food stamps, and green subsidies? And how much is the Senate likely to revise?
