Part 2/10:
Just shortly after midnight, the House floor was packed with discussion, culminating in a razor-thin vote of 215 to 214. A single vote separated approval from rejection, underscoring the bill’s contentious nature. One Republican representative, Thomas Massie, openly criticized the legislation, calling it a "debt bomb ticking." Many party members initially hesitated, but most eventually backed the measure following a speech by President Donald Trump. Massie’s opposition highlighted the bill's mounting debt concerns, framing it as a reckless move toward fiscal instability.
