Trump Secures Tax Bill Amid Democratic Opposition, Millions Facing Coverage Loss

News summary

President Donald Trump successfully pushed through a major tax cut and spending bill, branded as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” relying solely on Republican votes despite significant cuts to Medicaid and other safety net programs. While Trump argues the bill benefits workers paid in tips and overtime and prevents tax increases for millions, Democrats counter that it disproportionately favors the wealthy and will lead to millions losing health coverage and food assistance, framing it as a key issue for the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats have launched extensive campaigns—including rallies, voter registration drives, and attack ads—to highlight the bill's controversial impacts and hold Republicans accountable. However, the Democratic Party faces challenges such as low popularity, lack of clear leadership, and delayed effects of the bill’s provisions, which may lessen its immediate political impact. Both parties anticipate the bill will be a defining issue in upcoming elections, with Republicans banking on economic growth promises amid uncertainty and Democrats emphasizing the social costs. Political strategists debate the bill’s macroeconomic effects and its influence on voter sentiment heading into the midterms.
