The House passed President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill by a narrow margin of 215-214, partly due to Republican Rep. Andrew Garbarino missing the vote because he fell asleep. House Speaker Mike Johnson humorously commented on Garbarino's absence, stating he'd like to 'strangle' him for missing a crucial vote. The near miss highlights the contentious relationship within the Republican Party, evidenced by dissent from Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson, who voted against the bill alongside Democrats.
House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that Garbarino missed the vote because he fell asleep, joking, 'I know, I'm gonna just strangle him. But then he's my dear friend.'
Johnson also noted that the bill passed with a razor-thin margin of just one vote, underscoring its contentious nature and the intense pressure around the vote.
