WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives advanced President Donald Trump 's massive tax-cut and spending bill toward a final yes-or-no vote early on Thursday morning, appearing to overcome internal party divisions over its cost.

The House advance the Trump agenda bill on a 219-213 vote after most of the Republican holdouts flipped their votes to support the rule. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., was the only Republican to vote with all Democrats against the procedural motion. The House is now debating the bill and will soon vote on final passage.

WASHINGTON -- Republican leaders in the House are sprinting toward a Wednesday vote on President Donald Trump's tax and spending cuts package, determined to seize momentum from a hard-fought vote in the Senate while essentially daring members to defy their party's leader and vote against it.
