The US House is voting and its close (on Trump ‘big beautiful bill’) | Forexlive

Tryon to keep track of all the political wheeling and ealing is challengins.

The House is voting and the vote is going on for a long time.

All 216 Democrats voted ‘No’.

4 Republicans said they’d vote No also.

207 Republicans have voted Yes.

There are still 9 Republicans yet to vote.

Doing the sums it appears the best the Republicans can do is 216 Yes, which means it’s a tie. I am no US Congressional scholar but I’m told by those who are that a 216-216 tie is a loss.

For now at least.

Past experience tends to show House Speaker Johnson manages to pull off victory when all looks lost though.
