House Republicans Push for Tax Bill Passage in Late-Night Votes

-dawn hours of Thursday, following a day of debate and negotiations. The bill, which is expected to add $1.5 trillion to the national debt but also provide tax cuts for corporations and individuals, is facing opposition from Democrats who argue that it favors the wealthy and will hurt the middle class. The House plans to hold two key votes in the early hours of Thursday, with the first being on a procedural motion to begin the debate on the bill and the second being on the actual legislation. If both votes are successful, the bill will then go to the Senate for further consideration. The bill has faced a number of setbacks and challenges in its journey through Congress, with the latest being a potential delay due to a procedural mistake. However, House Republicans are determined to push the bill through and deliver a major legislative win for Trump before the end of the year. Supporters of the bill argue that it will boost the economy and create more jobs, while opponents raise concerns about the impact on the national debt and the potential for the tax cuts to primarily benefit the wealthy. The bill has also faced criticism for including a provision to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas drilling. The pre-dawn votes are a testament to the urgency and determination of House Republicans to get this bill passed before the end of the year. If successful, it would be the first major legislative accomplishment for Trump and the Republican party since taking control of the White House and Congress. The passing of the tax bill is expected to have significant implications for the American economy and the 2018 midterm elections. With the clock ticking, the pressure is on for House Republicans to secure the necessary votes and get the bill over the finish line."
