New York Democrat Representative Tom Suozzi voted against President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" despite agreeing with roughly 75% of its provisions. Suozzi justified his decision by citing concerns over preserving lower tax rates for the wealthy, Medicaid cuts and the bill's impact on the deficit. He stated that these aspects were "devastating" and outweighed the benefits of the bill. Suozzi's vote reflects the challenges of partisan politics, where lawmakers often face pressure to toe the party line. The bill passed with a narrow margin, with most Democrats opposing it and nearly all Republicans voting in favor.
