Colorado’s Republican House members stuck with President Donald Trump Thursday, with all four voting to pass the GOP’s massive package of tax cuts and spending reductions in time to meet the president’s Fourth of July deadline.

The state’s Democrats, meanwhile, joined every member of their party in opposition, blasting what one called a “reckless and disastrous bill” that stands to bring harm to Colorado residents and industries while exploding the federal deficit.

At nearly 900 pages, the legislation makes permanent the 2017 tax cuts approved during the first Trump administration while reducing spending by more than $1 trillion over 10 years on Medicaid, Affordable Care Act subsidies and food assistance programs, mostly achieved by imposing work requirements. Among numerous other provisions, the bill also multiplies spending on immigration enforcement, detention and deportation, giving the administration what it’s said will be the capability to deport a million immigrants a year.

The final bill was projected to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, up from the $2.4 trillion debt increase contained in the version originally passed by the House in late May, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. It also boosts the federal debt limit by $5 trillion.

After passing the Senate Tuesday in a 50-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the bill languished back in the House of Representatives late into the next night amid uncertainty and arm-twisting by GOP leadership and the White House as a group of hardline conservatives voiced objections, mostly focused on the increased deficit spending. By Thursday morning, however, all but two Republican lawmakers had dropped their opposition, leading to the bill’s final passage on a 218-214 vote.

Republican U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert, Jeff Hurd, Jeff Crank and Gabe Evans voted for the bill, while Democratic U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Jason Crow and Brittany Pettersen voted against it, as had their counterparts in the Senate, Democrats Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper.

Trump is expected to sign the bill on Friday.

“Today was a win for the American people,” said Crank in a statement. “The One Big Beautiful bill now heads to President Trump’s desk. This bill will help further secure our borders, make the Trump tax cuts permanent, unleash American energy, and make our nation stronger than ever before.”

Boebert, who briefly delayed participating in a procedural vote Wednesday afternoon before casting her vote along party lines, called the bill’s passage a “landmark victory” for her district, the state and the country.

“Who’s ready for the Deportation Machine on STEROIDS?” she tweeted after casting her vote in favor of the bill.

In a statement, Boebert listed other reasons she supported the bill.

“With the passage of (One Big, Beautiful Bill), we are delivering major tax cuts for Colorado families and small businesses, no taxes on tips and overtime, a record investment in border security, and funding the Golden Dome defense system,” she said, referring to a missile defense system proposed by Trump.

Added Boebert: “This bill also reduces the terrible Green New Scam subsidies I’ve fought against, supports our ranchers and farmers with major investments in our ag sector, and secures $50 billion in funding for our rural hospitals and health care providers.”

The bill’s provisions to end clean energy tax credits and subsidies put in place during the Biden administration drew complaints earlier in the process from Evans, whose district along the Northern Front Range is one of the top fossil fuel-producing districts in the country but also stands to lose multi-million dollar battery storage projects when the federal funding disappears.

In a statement, Evans called the legislation “a bold, commonsense blueprint for how to secure the border, lower costs for families, crack down on dangerous illegal immigrants and give local law enforcement the tools needed to keep our communities safe.”

Just over a week ago, Hurd, who represents most of the Western Slope and Southern Colorado and ran on a platform of expanding access to rural health care, joined with 15 other House Republicans in a letter asking the Senate not to deepen the Medicaid cuts contained in the House’s earlier version, which Hurd and his colleagues called “more pragmatic and compassionate” than the Senate’s final version.

After the bill’s approval, Hurd issued a statement calling its passage “a historic step forward,” saying he voted for the bill “not because it’s perfect, but because it delivers on so many of the priorities we campaigned on: securing the border, stopping the largest tax hike on working families in history, letting hardworking Coloradans keep their tips and overtime pay, supporting our men and women in uniform, revitalizing America’s industrial defense base, lowering costs by expanding responsible oil and gas development — and so much more.”

Hurd acknowledged that there was “still more to do — including strengthening rural health care — but this bill gives us critical tools to empower communities, grow the economy, and help our state thrive.”

Across the aisle, the state’s Democratic House members railed against the bill’s contents and anticipated effects, with some predicting that the GOP had jeopardized the party’s hold on Congress in next year’s midterm elections.

“House Republicans have jammed through their reckless and disastrous budget bill,” said Neguse, the assistant House minority leader, in a statement. “It will add trillions to the deficit, slash health care for countless Coloradans and jeopardize rural hospitals across our state.”

DeGette, who represents Denver, said in a statement that the Republicans who voted for the bill “should be ashamed of themselves,” calling the legislation “the most cruel and fiscally irresponsible bill in modern history.”

“It takes vital benefits away from the most vulnerable Americans to give billionaires and mega corporations massive tax breaks in the largest transfer of wealth we have ever seen,” DeGette said. “It includes the biggest cut in nutritional benefits in our history, it kicks nearly 17 million Americans off their health care, and it defunds Planned Parenthood, causing even more Americans to lose health care.”

DeGette added that the bill not only “assaults our clean energy sector which will kill hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs and harm our progress on tackling the climate crisis,” but also “will add nearly $4 trillion to the debt and deepen the deficit even as my Republican colleagues endlessly preach about the need for ‘fiscal responsibility.'”

In a statement Crow, said that Trump’s budget package is the worst bill he’d “ever seen” in his more than six years in Congress.

“It shamefully is one of the largest transfers of wealth from the working class to the rich in history. With his signature, President Trump will kick millions of Americans off of their health care and take away food assistance from the working class. Republicans are taking from working people in order to give massive tax breaks to the rich. Their bill is also fiscally reckless and irresponsible, adding trillions to the national debt.”

While Republicans “pretend they’re for the working class,” Crow added, the party “just made life more difficult for many hardworking Americans who were already struggling to get by — all to give their billionaire friends a tax cut.”

Calling Thursday “a very difficult day for all of us,” Pettersen vowed in a post on social media that she intends to keep fighting with her constituents.

“I’m heartbroken knowing the pain and suffering this will bring throughout our community, and the kids who will go without healthcare or food, and people like my mom who work low-wage jobs who will be unable to get the care they need,” Pettersen said in a statement.

Pettersen’s mother, who relies on Medicaid, recently marked seven years of sobriety after a decades-long addiction to opioids that began when her daughter was a child.
