WASHINGTON – House Republicans defended a bill that would enact sweeping tax cuts, raise the debt ceiling, and add restrictions to benefit programs during a heated marathon day of committee hearings on Capitol Hill.

More than 7 million people will lose Medicaid coverage over the next 10 years if the bill becomes law, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The House GOP released its plan to cut Medicaid spending and much of former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act with billions on climate spending.

Lawmakers bickered, protesters shouted and senators came to take in the moment as a House committee considered a critical portion of a bill to enact President Trump’s domestic agenda.

But the tax cut package that passed the U.S. House and President Trump has dubbed the "big, beautiful bill" may change before it becomes law.

Republicans and Democrats grew weary in the early hours of Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill as they slogged through at-times contentious debate over provisions in President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) caught South Carolina's Ralph Norman taking a brazen nap during a monumentally important hearing Wednesday.

House Republicans push forward deep Medicaid cuts in new tax and spending bill amid bipartisan concerns. Here's what that means for people.
