GOP Congressman Sleeps Through Key Vote on Budget Bill
The House narrowly passed President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” by a 215-214 vote, a closer margin than initially appeared due to last-minute voting and the absence of Representative Andrew Garbarino, who reportedly overslept. The bill, including tax cuts and increased defense spending, faced criticism from some conservatives for insufficient debt reduction. Two other Republicans voted against the bill, and one voted present, while the Democrats were down one member due to a death. The legislation now proceeds to the Senate for consideration.
