How Colorado’s members of Congress voted on the Trump tax bill — and what they’re saying

Colorado’s U.S. House members voted along party lines on President Donald Trump’s $4.5 billion tax breaks and spending cuts bill Thursday, with all four Republicans supporting it.

The bill won final passage 218-214, with two Republicans joining all Democrats in voting no. It now will go to Trump for his signature.

The bill had come back to the House after the Senate passed an amended version of H.R. 1, formerly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Vice President JD Vance broke a tie vote in that chamber.

Earlier this week, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and a range of Democratic officials criticized the measure and its likely impact in the state. Large cuts to Medicaid and nutrition assistance are expected to have wide impacts, with reduced Medicaid spending also straining rural hospitals. Tens of thousands of Coloradans are expected to lose health insurance, and the bill’s cuts are likely to further strain the state’s tight budget, officials have said.

“Today, Republicans in Congress jammed through the most cruel and fiscally irresponsible bill in modern history,” Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat from Denver, said in a statement after the vote. “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.”

How is the Colorado congressional delegation voting?

Rep. Jeff Hurd, a Republican from Grand Junction, had signaled he might not support the Senate version of the bill after he’d signed on to a letter expressing concern with the Senate’s deeper Medicaid cuts — amounting to nearly $1 trillion, versus over $800 billion in the original House bill.

He told The Denver Post on Tuesday: “The Big Beautiful Bill sent back to the House from the Senate is going to require significant changes in order to pass.” But on Wednesday, as Trump and House Republican leaders were pressing for GOP members to get on board, Hurd told the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that he would support the bill.

The House passed the Senate version with no changes.

“I think the key consideration from my perspective is that this bill delivers on so many of the key priorities that we campaigned on,” Hurd told the Daily Sentinel. “The Republican Party has a wide array of districts and ideologies and we’re coming together to deliver on the results we campaigned on for the American people.”
