Congress has passed President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," while contending with GOP factions and razor-thin majorities.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday advanced President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, a procedural step setting the stage for possible passage of the legislation in a vote expected later in the day.

The action suggested a breakthrough on the party’s signature legislation that came after House Republican leaders haggled into the early morning hours with conservatives holdouts.
