Trump Presses GOP on Sweeping Capitol Hill Bill

News summary

President Donald Trump is making a rare visit to Capitol Hill to personally urge House Republicans to support his 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which includes major tax cuts, deep spending reductions, and increased border security funding. The bill faces significant GOP divisions, with conservatives seeking more aggressive cuts and moderates pushing for more generous state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Disagreements also persist over the pace of Medicaid work requirements and repeal of clean energy tax credits. Democrats are uniformly opposed, arguing the bill favors the wealthy and would harm healthcare and food assistance for millions. Preliminary estimates suggest the legislation could add trillions to the deficit and leave millions uninsured. The outcome will test both Trump's influence and Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership as a House vote looms this week.
