Delays in Passing Trump’s ‘Great Beautiful Law’ Caused by Republican Internal Opposition in the House

The process of passing the so-called 'Great Beautiful Law' initiated by former President Donald Trump is facing increasing delays and internal conflicts within the House of Representatives. Originally, the vote on this comprehensive bill was expected to last no more than five minutes, but it has already stretched beyond an hour and a half due to strong resistance from some Republican lawmakers. This opposition has led to internal party tensions, as leadership strives to pass the legislation before the July 4th Independence Day celebrations. The persistent delays and protests threaten the timely adoption of the bill. Some Republicans who advocate for strict fiscal discipline are holding closed-door meetings after returning from the White House. Meanwhile, an hour after the vote began, lawmakers were called back to their offices and instructed to wait for further directives, according to an anonymous source familiar with the situation. In addition to intra-party opposition, members are also dealing with weather-related delays and absences, affecting the voting process. Notably, on July 1st, the U.S. Senate approved the budget and tax bill proposed by President Donald Trump, passing by just one vote.
