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. Will GOP unity crumble, or will backroom deals seal a victory before the deadline? #trump #TrumpBill #HouseVote #GOPRevolt #TrumpTaxPlan #VictoriaSparta #KeithSelf #USPolitics #TaxReform #TrumpSpending #RepublicansDivided #TrumpBudget #July4Deadline #GOPCrisis #BrianFitzpatrick #AndrewClyd #BigBeautifulBill #CongressDrama #HouseRepublicans #DebtCeilingFight #TrumpNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations.
