After a turbulent few days — following a turbulent few weeks — House Republicans finally muscled through their reconciliation bill early Thursday morning, overcoming unified Democratic opposition and serious doubts that the House GOP could ever find consensus on President Donald Trump’s sweeping legislative agenda.
At almost 7 a.m., the House passed the reconciliation bill 215-214 with one present vote, with 215 Republicans and zero Democrats voting yes. Two Republicans and 212 Democrats voted no.
In the end, Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson were the only Republicans who didn’t support the legislation. House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris voted present.
