众议院周四以216票对214票的微弱优势批准了共和党的预算蓝图，为唐纳德·特朗普总统的立法议程取得了重大胜利。
特朗普就该法案的通过向众议院表示祝贺，他在自己的真实社交平台上发帖称，这“为我们国家历史上最伟大、最重要的签约之一奠定了基础。”
特朗普说:“在许多其他事情中，这将是有史以来最大的税收和监管削减。”
财政部长斯科特·贝森特称该法案的通过是“目的和力量的声明”
“特朗普政府将继续推动确定性、简单性和稳定性，为所有美国人带来长期繁荣，”贝森特在一份声明中说。
众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊遭受挫折周三晚上，由于一小批共和党强硬派的反对，他被迫放弃了计划中的投票，他们担心预算会增加国家的赤字。
周四上午，约翰逊与参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(John Thune)站在一起，表示他在周三晚上与议员进行了“非常富有成效”的审议，并在周四寻求强调削减超过1万亿美元支出的努力。
“我们致力于为美国人民找到至少1.5万亿美元的储蓄，同时也保留我们的基本项目，”约翰逊说。
图恩似乎对削减赤字的目标不太感兴趣，但温和地支持了众议院预算节约的崇高目标——宣布参议院对财政可持续性的雄心“与众议院一致”。
图恩说:“我们必须采取一些措施，让这个国家走上一条财政更可持续的道路，这需要我们严厉批评我们的政府，找出我们可以在哪里找到这些节余。”“演讲者谈到了1.5万亿美元。我们有很多美国认为这是最低限度的参议员们，我们将尽我们所能，尽可能地积极进取。"
特朗普总统一直亲自参与试图通过这项措施，他在周四早上早些时候表示，共和党人“越来越接近了”。
“‘又大又漂亮的比尔’进展很顺利。共和党人合作得很好。美国历史上最大的减税!!!，”特朗普在他的保守社交媒体平台的一篇帖子中写道。
在20多名共和党人对参议院的决议仅设定了40亿美元的储蓄下限表示担忧后，众议院共和党领导人在过去一周内匆忙锁定了投票。投票前，约翰逊说他得到了所需的支持。
“我们的目标是兑现我们的承诺，”约翰逊说。
House passes budget blueprint to advance Trump's agenda
The House narrowly voted to approve the GOP budget blueprint Thursday by a vote of 216-214, delivering a major victory for President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.
Trump congratulated the House on the bill's passage, saying in a post on his Truth Social platform that this "sets the stage for one of the Greatest and Most Important Signings in the History of our Country."
"Among many other things, it will be the Largest Tax and Regulation Cuts ever even contemplated," Trump said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the bill's passage "a statement of purpose and strength."
"The Trump Administration will continue pushing for the certainty, simplicity, and stability that will unlock long-term prosperity for all American," Bessent said in a statement.
House Speaker Mike Johnsonsuffered a setbackon Wednesday night when he was forced to scrap a planned vote due to opposition from a small group of Republican hardliners who are concerned the budget would add to the nation's deficit.
Standing alongside Senate Majority Leader John Thune Thursday morning, Johnson said he had "very productive" deliberations with members on Wednesday night and on Thursday sought to highlight efforts to slash spending by more than a trillion dollars.
"We are committed to finding at least $1.5 trillion in savings for the American people while also preserving our essential programs," Johnson said.
Thune seemed less enthusiastic about the target for deficit reduction but meekly endorsed the House’s lofty goal for budget savings -- announcing the Senate’s ambition for fiscal sustainability is "aligned with the House."
"We have got to do something to get the country on a more fiscally sustainable path and that entails us taking a hard scrub of our government, figuring out where we can find those savings,” Thune said. “The speaker has talked about $1.5 trillion. We have a lot ofUnited Statessenators who believe that is a minimum and we’re going to do everything we can to be as aggressive as possible."
President Trump, who has been personally involved in trying to get the measure adopted, had weighed in earlier Thursday morning that Republicans were "getting close."
"'The Big, Beautiful Bill' is coming along really well. Republicans are working together nicely. Biggest Tax Cuts in USA History!!!," Trump wrote in a post to his conservative social media platform.
House GOP leaders had scrambled for the past week to lock down the votes, after more than 20 Republicans expressed concern that the Senate’s resolution set a floor of just $4 billion in savings. Before the vote, Johnson said he had the support needed.
“Our aim is to deliver on our promises,” Johnson said.
