WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives advanced President Donald Trump 's massive tax-cut and spending bill toward a final yes-or-no vote early on Thursday morning, appearing to overcome internal party divisions over its cost.

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.

Just two Republican members of the House voted against President Trump’s massive tax and spending bill that was received final congressional approval on Thursday afternoon. Massie was among the first Republicans to oppose the bill and spent the week speaking out against it.
