Democratic Party officials are looking at the Big Beautiful Bill as a political gift and hoping voters view cuts to social spending negatively. But the party faces challenges ahead of the midterms, including a Republican trifecta and a base questioning if party leadership is doing enough to challenge President Trump.

Many Republicans argue that voters will feel the economic benefits of their bill and reward them by sending them back to Washington. Democrats say the bill is deeply unpopular and they'll use it to clobber the GOP in the November 2026 election.

The Big Beautiful Bill — a huge package of tax relief, more funding for immigration enforcement, and savings from entitlement reforms — is now law, and it’s a triumph not only for President Trump but for the whole Republican Party. The GOP passed two make-or-break tests here: one of party discipline, the other of political principles.

House Republicans muscled the “big, beautiful bill” through a procedural hurdle on the floor arly Thursday, setting the legislation up for a final vote.

Vice President JD Vance cast a tie-breaking vote as 3 Republican senators voted against the bill. Here's what's in it.
