The passage of President Donald Trump's $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill in the United States House Thursday prompted various reactions from lawmakers and officials in North Carolina.

Republican Rep. Addison McDowell of Bermuda Run said on X: “I just voted to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, just in time for Independence Day! This bill is the course correction our country needs, and it will soon be the law of the land.”

Republicans say this is a huge step towards limiting waste, fraud and abuse, while Democrats warn of potential harm to public services.
