Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives passed President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill Act with a vote of 215-214-1.

Statement:

"The House just secured BIG WINS for taxpayers in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act," said Rep. Norman on Thursday. "This bill, while not perfect, secured the following wins for the American people:

A. Tax cuts for all American families are made permanent

B. Border security funding to enable the deportation of illegals

C. No tax on tips & overtime

D. Prohibits funds for transgender treatments

E. Protects life by restricting Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood

Now let me be clear — I didn’t just cast a vote. I worked my tail off during this process to make this bill better for the American taxpayer. I fought tooth and nail to include key changes that were non-negotiable for me:

1. Work requirements for Medicaid recipients were moved up from 2029 to 2026

2. Biden’s Green New Scam tax credits for wind and solar repealed faster

Leadership isn’t about making the perfect the enemy of the good, but it’s about moving the ball forward without selling out your principles. My vote was about securing the wins we’ve fought for and continuing to move forward in the fight to rein in Washington’s cancerous spending.

South Carolinians expect results, and this bill is a step toward restoring trust, accountability, and common sense in government. The American people sent us here to stop reckless spending, and today we delivered."
