WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives advanced President Donald Trump 's massive tax-cut and spending bill toward a final yes-or-no vote early on Thursday morning, appearing to overcome internal party divisions over its cost.

A massive bill for President Donald Trump’s agenda cleared a key hurdle in the House after a group of Republican holdouts changed their votes. The House is now debating the bill on the floor before proceeding to final passage.

The sweeping tax-and-spending package now heads to President Donald Trump's desk a day before his July 4 deadline.
