The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Thursday launched a final yes-or-no vote on President Donald Trump's massive tax-cut and spending bill after the chamber's top Democrat delayed action with a record-breaking speech that lasted more than eight hours.

The House is taking a final vote on President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" after a dramatic overnight session, and record-breaking speech by Hakeem Jeffries.

The Republican package would slash taxes, boost spending on immigration enforcement and the military, and impose steep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding.
