Now that the bill has passed the House, its next stop is the president's desk to be officially signed into law.
The White House says President Trump will sign it at a ceremony on 4 July at 17:00 EDT (22:00 BTS).
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to the bill's passing with a one word message on social media. "VICTORY!" she says, alongside an American flag image.

We're now hearing from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and senior Trump White House officials in a call with reporters, in which she lauded a "great day" for the US and listed off a variety of policies the White House believes it will facilitate.
"This bill restores fiscal sanity in our country," he said. "This bill is an encapsulation of all of the policies that the president campaigned on and the American people voted on."
One of the officials said the bill "satisfies virtually every campaign promise" that Trump made last year, including no-tax on tips and border defences.
"We think this is the bridge to the golden age of America," he said.
Another official said that "the fight will continue" in the mid-terms - they clearly see this as a victory they hope could propel them politically moving forward.

Anthony Zurcher: Passage of megabill is a big win for Trump
Donald Trump has his first major legislative victory of his second presidential term.
The "big, beautiful bill", as he calls it, is a sprawling package that includes many key pieces of his agenda – delivering on promises he made on the campaign trail.
It also, however, contains the seeds of political peril for the president and his party.
That Trump and his team were able to shepherd the legislation through Congress despite narrow majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is no small achievement.
His success required him and his allies to win over budget hawks within his Republican Party who were intent on slashing government spending, as well as centrists who were wary of cuts to social programmes.
Trump is preparing what should be a celebratory bill signing ceremony on 4 July - American Independence Day - and will tout his ability to govern not just through executive order, but also through enacting new law.
But the fight to define the benefits – and consequences – of this bill is just beginning.
Now that Trump's spending bill has passed the House, let's have a quick recap of what's in it.
The sprawling tax and budget bill touches on everything, from Medicaid and Social Security to food benefits and clean energy.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill could add $3.3tn to federal deficits over the next 10 years and leave millions without health coverage. The White House disputes that.
Here are some of the measures:

The passing of this bill goes well beyond the sum of its parts for Donald Trump.
Yes, it solidifies some of his key aims around tax cuts and immigration policy, but it also represents a crowning moment for his total control of the Republican party in Congress, and the country.
Despite objections from hard-right members of the Freedom Caucus and from other, vulnerable Republicans in competitive districts, he's persuaded some to go against lifelong principles of fiscal conservativism, and others to put their very political survival in their districts in severe jeopardy.
Add to this a slew of other wins in recent days at Nato: on the Middle East, and on economics numbers, and it's hard not to acknowledge that this president is on a roll - and it's a big one.

Just two people from Trump's own party voted against the spending bill in this House vote: Thomas Massie and Brian Fitzpatrick.
The were part of a group of hardliners who had vowed to defy the bill. But most of that group were convinced to get onboard.
Fitzpatrick was the lone Republican to vote against bringing the bill to the floor of the House at all.

Watch: Moment Trump's megabill passes final vote in the US House
Ralph Norman, one of the Republican critics of the bill, walked onto the House floor well after the slotted 15-minute vote period was over, with the vote stuck at 217-214.
Upon entering, he bowed, received an applause from his grateful colleagues, and cast the final vote in favour of the bill.
"On this vote, the yeas are 218, the nays are 214, the motion is done," House Speaker Mike Johnson said just before banging the gavel.
The Republican wing of the House floor chanted "USA, USA".
And with that, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will soon head to his desk for signature.
Image source, US CongressDonald Trump's signature "big, beautiful" bill has passed.
The bill was passed by a vote of 218-214.
Voting has finished in the House of Representatives and only two Republicans voted against the bill. With the Republican Party majority, they could have afforded for three party members to hold out.
All Democratic Party members voted against the bill.
It will now go to Trump's desk for signing into law, which he has indicated he will do tomorrow on the 4 July holiday.
Time has expired but we don't have the final tally until the gavel sounds.
A second Republican has voted against the bill, along with every Democrat.
Republicans could technically afford to lose three votes because they hold the majority in the House.
There's just over five minutes left on the clock for voting in the House.
It's 196 for the bill, 204 against. But the Republican Party has the majority, so we expect those numbers to change quickly.
The magic number we are looking for is 218 votes.

As Johnson and Republicans celebrate re-capturing the House floor - following Democrats' final delay tactic - one more obstacle to Trump's "big, beautiful bill" remains. Getting 218 votes on the bill itself.
Republicans can only afford three holdouts, and they're already down one.
Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, the lone Republican to side with all Democrats in voting against the rule, will likely be a "no" on the bill as well.
If enough Republicans aren't already on board, we might see a repeat of yesterday, where Johnson kept the vote open for hours until he got the votes he needed. Or this could end in a matter of minutes.
Voting is under way and so far one Republican has voted against the bill - the party can only afford to lose three votes.
So far 169 Republicans have voted for it, and 185 Democrats against.
The vote on Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is now starting in the House of Representatives.
The vote comes after a marathon 24 hours, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat, finishing his eight-and-a-half hour speech against the legislation on the House floor.
Mike Johnson continues to lavish praise on Donald Trump.
This is Trump's signature bill, and it passing will be critical for the president's agenda.
Johnson calls Trump the "creator and champion of the America-first agenda".
He says after months of debate: "we are finally ready".
The House speaker pivots slightly to the election, saying that voters "overwhelmingly" voted for Republicans and that they "came with hopeful anticipation".
The vote has not yet started, but it should be happening soon.

House Speaker Mike Johnson rises to the podium for his chance to speak on the House floor, the first we're hearing from him in here in quite a while.
"It takes a lot longer to build a lie, then to tell the truth," he says, garnering rapturous applause from his Republican colleagues who haven't had much to clap for in the last eight hours.
He thanks "our bold visionary, fearless leader President Donald J Trump".

I am at Capitol Hill and watched Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries break the record for the longest floor speech in the House’s history just a few minutes ago.
"We are ready to put it on the floor as soon as Hakeem is done" Republican conference chair Lisa McClain told me, just before he finished speaking. The congresswoman, from Michigan, says Republicans are confident "especially after the rule vote", which passed overnight.
The bill is inching closer to being finalised after several hours put in by speaker of the United States House of Representatives Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump to swing opposing Republican hard line voices in favour of the bill.
"They got some assurances from the president that we would continue the savings process," said chair McClain when I asked how they managed to convince their own party members.
If the bill passes, the Democrats are expected to increase their campaign against the bill outside the House, especially ahead of the mid-terms next autumn.
Congresswoman McClain said she was confident there would be no blow back from voters. "You can say what you want, but people vote with their wallets," she tells me.
The Republicans have maintained this bill is just what America needs and will benefit lower and middle class Americans.

Watch: The moment Hakeem Jeffries ends record-breaking speech
“As I take my seat I just want to express to the American people, we’re going to press on," Jeffries said, in reference to an earlier Martin Luther King Jr quote.
"Press on for the sick... press on for the weak... press on for the rule of law... press on for democracy... until victory is won," he says.
And with that, he steps away from the podium for the first time in over eight hours, engulfed in hugs by his colleagues.
Chants of "Hakeem" ring out on the House floor.
Hakeem Jeffries has finally taken his seat after 8 hours and 45 minutes.
He finished with a call and return of Democrats vowing to "press on".

As Jeffries breaks the record, he is encouraged by his colleagues to keep going.
"You got the record, keep going," someone shouts.
Another person yells: "Tell us another story."
House Democrats are all crowded around Jeffries, urging him to go on as he continues to make history with every 60 seconds that pass by.
Across the aisle, a few dozen Republicans are present, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Johnson's head was down as he scrolled through his phone when Jeffries' history-breaking moment arrived.
Image source, BBC NewsDemocratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries has just broken the record for longest "magic minute" speech in US history.
Exceeding eight-and-a-half hours, he's broken the record set by Republican Kevin McCarthy in 2021.
In the moments leading up to the 520th minute, he indicated his speech was coming towards the end. This was met with cries of "take your sweet time" from his party members, a refrain he has repeated throughout the speech.
Throughout, he's criticised the spending bill, run through the amendments proposed by other party members, spoken of his parents and his childhood, and quoted the Bible.
At this stage, though he looks weary, he seems to be carrying on.
The speech has delayed a vote on Trump's spending bill.
