WASHINGTON—The House Rules Committee on July 2 advanced the Senate-passed version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, putting it one step closer to getting it to President Donald Trump’s desk and delivering on his signature legislative agenda.

The tally was 7–6. Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) joined all Democrats in voting against reporting it out of the committee. The advancement in the House came hours after the Senate narrowly passed the bill with Vice President JD Vance casting a tie-breaking vote.
