It’s big. It’s beautiful. And, according to Donald Trump, it’s for everyone.
In his signature style, US President Donald Trump announced that the US Senate has passed what he calls the “ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL” — a sweeping piece of legislation that promises tax cuts, higher wages, stronger borders, and even a “Golden Age of America.”
“This is no longer a ‘House Bill’ or a ‘Senate Bill’,” Trump said on Truth Social. “It is everyone’s Bill.”
The legislation appears to be a major part of Trump’s post-reelection agenda, promising to deliver “Permanently Lower Taxes, Higher Wages and Take Home Pay, Secure Borders, and a Stronger and More Powerful Military.”
In a pitch tailor-made for the July 4th fireworks, Trump called on House Republicans to stop grandstanding and unite behind the measure. “We can have all of this right now, but only if the House GOP UNITES, ignores its occasional ‘GRANDSTANDERS’ (You know who you are!), and does the right thing,” he said.
Despite the red-white-and-blue rhetoric, the bill’s journey isn’t over yet. It must still pass the Republican-controlled House. Trump didn’t hold back in urging swift passage, reminding lawmakers of the looming holiday: “Let’s keep it going, and be done before you and your family go on a July 4th vacation.
The American People need and deserve it. They sent us here to, GET IT DONE!”
“Our Country is going to explode with Massive Growth… setting us on course for enormous Prosperity in the new and wonderful Golden Age of America,” Trump said.
TRUMP’S ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL’ TAX, SPENDING BILL CLEARS SENATE
Earlier, Senate Republicans narrowly passed Trump’s major bill, which includes big tax cuts and major spending changes. The vote came after an all-night session filled with tension, pushback from Democrats, and even some resistance within the GOP.
The outcome capped an unusually tense weekend of work at the Capitol, the president’s signature legislative priority teetering on the edge of approval or collapse. In the end that tally was 50-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
Three Republican senators — Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined all Democrats in voting against it.
“In the end we got the job done,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota said afterward.
