Trump Risks Voter Blowback as ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Moves Forward

The US Senate handed President Donald Trump a major political victory with its Tuesday passage of a sweeping domestic policy bill, bringing him one step closer to a signature legislative achievement in an administration that has largely governed through executive power.

The Senate’s narrow approval of the $3.3 trillion package, which likely has set the stage for the bill to be signed into law later this week, extends the tax breaks that were a centerpiece of Trump’s first administration while delivering on key 2024 campaign promises such as a no-tax-on-tips measure and funding for his border wall.
