Jim Jordan has emerged as a main contender, but a handful of Republicans are refusing to vote for him, citing his extreme views, AP reports.

17.

Trump reiterated his support for Jordan.

Jim Jordan will be a great speaker.

I think he’s going to have the votes soon, if not today over the next day or two, Donald Trump, via statement.

Jordan needs to receive 217 votes to become speaker, which means nearly the full majority of his party needs to back him.

Democrats are slated to back Hakeem Jeffries for the job.

Breaking: Trump Declares War On GOP Over Blocked Tax Cuts, MAGA Furious | Oneindia News [Video]

Breaking: Trump Declares War On GOP Over Blocked Tax Cuts, MAGA Furious | Oneindia News

A major political crisis is unfolding within the Republican party as former President Donald Trump lashes out at House Republicans for blocking what he calls his "big beautiful bill." The proposed legislation, designed to be the largest tax cut in modern history, has stalled due to significant infighting and a shocking lack of support from within Trump's own party. The bill's failure to move forward represents a major defiance against Trump's leadership and has sent shockwaves through the MAGA base. The core of the crisis lies in the vote count. The House requires 217 votes to pass the legislation, but so far, only 181 Republicans have offered their support. The opposition is led by a small but determined group of four GOP Representatives—Keith Self, Victoria Spartz, Andrew Clyde, and Brian Fitzpatrick—who have publicly voted against the bill. Adding to the chaos, a staggering 35 Republicans did not cast a vote at all, leaving the bill's fate hanging in the balance ahead of a critical July 4 deadline set by Trump himself. In a scathing rant on his Truth Social platform, Trump questioned the motives of his fellow Republicans, asking, "What are you trying to prove?" He framed the situation as a battle between "the largest tax cut vs. biggest tax hike," warning that this opposition is damaging the party's credibility and momentum. Trump stated that "MAGA is not happy" and cautioned that this defiance could lead to significant voter backlash in swing districts, with his supporters threatening to withdraw support from non-compliant lawmakers in upcoming primaries. This internal conflict highlights a deeper debate within the GOP concerning federal spending levels, national deficits, and Trump's continued dominance over the party's direction. As the deadline looms, the standoff between Trump and the defiant House Republicans threatens to cause a permanent fracture in the party ahead of the crucial election season. #Trump #USPolitics #Republican #BreakingNews #GOP #MAGA #USNews #DonaldTrump #OneindiaNews #TaxCuts #Trump #USPolitics #Republican #BreakingNews #GOP #MAGA #USNews #DonaldTrump #OneindiaNews #TaxCuts Also Read Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc How Will US President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Impact Americans? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-will-us-president-trump-big-beautiful-bill-impact-americans-7789819.html?ref=DMDesc Deal With India With Less Tariffs Soon: US Prez Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deal-with-india-with-less-tariffs-soon-us-president-donald-trump-7788921.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Trump’s ā€˜Big Beautiful Bill’ Suffers MASSIVE Blow As GOP Defect Ahead Of July 4 Showdown

President Donald Trump’s massive $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit a major roadblock in the House of Representatives. In a critical procedural vote held Wednesday, only 181 GOP lawmakers backed the bill, with four Republicans — Andrew Clyd, Victoria Sparta, Keith Self, and Brian Fitzpatrick — voting against it and 35 not voting. With Trump demanding passage by July 4, the GOP now faces a race against time to secure the 217 votes needed. The defections have rattled Republican leadership, already under pressure from internal divisions over the bill’s spending cuts and debt ceiling provisions. Trump, who branded the bill ā€œOne Big Beautiful Bill,ā€ now faces growing resistance within his own party.

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ā€˜Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud. Trump labeled Massie a ā€œpathetic loserā€ and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values. #ElonMusk #TrumpVsMassie #GOPCivilWar #ThomasMassie #BigBeautifulBill #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAttack #FiscalConservative #GOP2025 #USPolitics #CongressNews #ElonX #MAGA #GOPDrama #Massie2025 #RepublicanFeud #JustinAmash #TrumpTruthSocial #PrimaryBattle #SwampWars ~HT.408~

Trump’s ā€œBig, Beautifulā€ BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor? [Video]

Trump’s ā€œBig, Beautifulā€ BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor?

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk. The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits. The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation. Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. #DonaldTrump #USTaxBill #USPolitics #ElonMusk #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Americanews #Republicans #Democrats #BernieSanders Also Read America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc How Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Tax Bill Could Benefit Indians Living in the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-donald-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill-could-benefit-indians-living-in-the-us-7790321.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump MOCKS Putin As ā€˜Professional’ At Handling Western Sanctions | WARNS of U.S Sanctions At Russia

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as ā€œa professionalā€ who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues. The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a ā€œRussophobe,ā€ while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling. #TrumpPutin #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #PutinSpeech #TrumpNews #USRussiaRelations #BidenSanctions #KremlinResponse #UkraineCrisis #TrumpRemarks #PutinVsWest #Geopolitics #USPolitics #RussianOilBan #SanctionsBill #LindseyGraham #MiddleEastTensions #KremlinStatement #TrumpOnPutin #AirForceOne ~HT.408~

U.S’ Most Stupid Decision Ever? Trade Deal With India Stalled As US Reaches ā€˜Understanding’ with Pak [Video]

U.S’ Most Stupid Decision Ever? Trade Deal With India Stalled As US Reaches ā€˜Understanding’ with Pak

In a major breakthrough just days before the July 9 deadline, Pakistan and the United States have reached an understanding on a crucial trade and tariff agreement. Led by Commerce Secretary Jawad Paal, the Pakistani delegation held four days of negotiations in Washington aimed at avoiding the re-imposition of a 29% tariff on key exports like textiles and agricultural products. While a formal announcement awaits the conclusion of similar talks with other U.S. partners, officials confirm that a broad framework has been agreed upon. The deal is expected to unlock access to the U.S. market, secure tariff relief, and attract potential American investment in Pakistan’s mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors — especially Reko Diq. The understanding also opens doors to cooperation with the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Both sides now look to reset strained economic ties dating back to the Trump-era tariff hikes, giving exporters and investors renewed confidence. #pakistanusdeal #tariffagreement #rekoDiq #uspakistantrade #exports #jawadpaal #uscommerce #textileexports #agriexports #pakusrelations #mininginvestment #energydeal #bilateralties #pakusnews #exportimportbank #usinvestments #pakistaneconomy #tradetalks #tariffrelief #july9deadline ~GR.125~HT.408~
