Live stream: President Trump holds event after House vote on tax bill


 

President Trump holds an event after the House passed a sweeping Republican tax overhaul.

Wednesday's re-vote in the House split mostly along party lines, 224-to-201, as it did 24 hours earlier. Twelve Republicans voted against the measure, along with all the chamber's Democrats. 

While Republicans touted the bill as a boon for the middle class and an economic engine for the economy, Democrats said it was a fiscally irresponsible giveaway to big corporations and the rich.
