Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican who is one of the most moderate in his party, was a surprising 'no' vote against advancing the bill.

President Donald Trump’s administration staged a multi-person, multiday campaign pressuring Republican lawmakers to pass a major domestic policy bill before the Fourth of July deadline. The efforts notched Trump’s most significant legislative win of his second tenure in the White House.

The House on Thursday passed the signature piece of legislation of President Trump's second term, approving his "big, beautiful bill" by a vote of 218 to 214.
