House Republicans took a huge step forward on their plan to overhaul the federal tax code Thursday with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The bill passed mostly on party lines, 227 to 205, with two Democrats not voting and 13 Republicans voting against the bill.
In passing the bill, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican leadership answered early questions about whether they could garner enough votes for the plan. Intraparty backlash came exclusively from Republican members in New York, California, and New Jersey.
