How the Big Beautiful Bill became law: Trump locks horns with GOP lawmakers
A small group of Republicans from high-tax states held the fate of the biggest tax legislation in nearly a decade in the palm of their hands.With a wire-thin majority in the House, the group of five knew that leadership needed all of their votes.

Mike Lawler (NY), Nick LaLota (NY), Andrew Garbarino (NY), Young Kim (CA), and Tom Kean (NJ).
