Trump Lands ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Win

About this episode

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.

That the bill survived defections from only three senators — Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky — hints at the tight grip Trump continues to have on his party. It also offers some validation for his tactical gambit of pursuing one mega-bill as a vehicle for his agenda, rather than of a slate of smaller ones.
