Trump Faces GOP Division Over Massive MAGA Tax, Medicaid Bill

President Donald Trump is aggressively pushing his "One Big Beautiful Bill," a multi-trillion-dollar package including tax cuts, border funding, and Medicaid reductions, aiming for a signing ceremony on July 4th. Despite GOP control, the bill faces significant opposition within the Republican Party due to its size, contents, and political risks, with many members concerned about its impact on the deficit and swing district vulnerabilities. Senate procedural challenges, notably a setback from the Senate Parliamentarian regarding Medicaid provisions, have forced Republicans to revisit and revise the legislation, complicating efforts to meet Trump's deadline. The White House is actively working to unify congressional Republicans, deploying top aides to Capitol Hill and warning that no lawmaker should leave for vacation before the bill passes. While Trump maintains a firm grip on the party, dissent from GOP members—ranging from calls for deeper spending cuts to opposition over controversial provisions like AI clauses—threatens the bill's passage. The outcome remains uncertain, but the administration remains committed to passing the bill to solidify Trump's legislative legacy in his current term.
