After a turbulent few days — following a turbulent few weeks — House Republicans finally muscled through their reconciliation bill early Thursday morning, overcoming unified Democratic opposition and serious doubts that the House GOP could ever find consensus on President Donald Trump’s sweeping legislative agenda. At almost 7 a.m, the House passed the reconciliation bill 215-214 and one present, with 215 Republicans and zero Democrats voting yes. Two Republicans and 214 Democrats voted no.
