House Republicans have successfully passed Donald Trump's multi-trillion-dollar 'big beautiful' tax bill in a major win for the president. 

Its passage 215-214 is a major milestone for the White House and Republicans in Congress who have spent the entirety of the new administration crafting the measure's specifics. 

There were two GOP no's on the vote, Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Thomas Massie, R-Ky. 

Speaker Mike Jonson, R-La., worked closely with Trump on formulating the bill that features many of the president's campaign promises, and getting the rest of the GOP rebels across the finish line.

If just three Republicans opposed the bill it would have failed with their razor-thin majority. 

Trump threatened that Republicans who didn't get behind the package would be 'knocked out' in the upcoming 2026 midterms elections, considering any dissent 'the ultimate betrayal.'

This close relationship between the president and speaker gave Johnson leverage over several unruly Republicans who threatened to vote against the bill.

The bill accounts for trillions of dollars in tax cuts and enshrines Trump's signature slashes in 2017. 

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., called Trump's 2017 law 'revolutionary' on Thursday, adding that the new bill 'is even more revolutionary.'

The package also provides for $350 billion to go to MAGA projects including to Trump's new 'Golden Dome' missile defense system and his mass deportation policies. 

To fund the massive loss in federal revenue, Congress has decided to make deep cuts to social programs and add work requirements to Medicaid.
