The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Thursday launched a final yes-or-no vote on President Donald Trump's massive tax-cut and spending bill after the chamber's top Democrat delayed action with a record-breaking speech that lasted more than eight hours.

Several GOP holdouts flipped on a late-night procedural measure to clear the path for a vote on the megabill before Trump’s July 4 deadline.

Fitzpatrick, a moderate who represents Bucks County, was one of a handful of Republicans to vote against a procedural vote to move the bill forward late Wednesday night. He was the only Republican “no” not to reverse on that vote by the early morning hours as negotiations went on. The House voted 219-213 to advance to final debate.
