At nearly 900 pages, President Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” is a sprawling collection of tax breaks, spending cuts, and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations.
All of Maryland’s Democratic House members opposed it. Rep. Kweisi Mfume of Baltimore said the bill’s effects “will slowly start to be seen this time next year, with people being ripped off of Medicaid and Medicare and nursing homes not being able to take care of patients, particularly the elderly.”
The Senate passed the bill, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. The House passed an earlier iteration of the bill in May with just one vote to spare. It passed the final version 218-214. Trump signed the bill on July 4.
