Scoop: Trump plans victory lap for Big Beautiful Bill

President Trump's team huddled Monday to discuss a victory tour for shortly after July 4, following what they hope will be passage and signing of his Big Beautiful Bill, a White House source with direct knowledge tells Axios. Why it matters: A top Trump aide pointed out that this will likely be seen as Trump's first big move of the 2026 midterm cycle. Republican control of the House is at acute risk.Trump's top aides are planning a whole-of-government mobilization, with the president, Vice President JD Vance and top cabinet officials doing a lap around the country, visiting target states and congressional districts.The bill has passed the House but faces hurdles in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) says he won't let senators leave for the Fourth of July recess until the bill passes. It'll be a puzzle, but the White House expects the bill to pass. With Trump looking strong abroad, expect a rally-around-the-chief effect among congressional Republicans.Behind the scenes: The West Wing is in a triumphal mood after this weekend's U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, and the Trump-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. (Israel has already accused Iran of violating it.)At 6am Tuesday, Trump was scheduled to leave the White House for a two-day trip to a NATO summit in the Netherlands, where he's expected to bask on the world stage.Reality check: Republicans privately express lots of doubts about holding the House. And for all the overseas wins, Trump's poll numbers outside Republicans could depend on whether voters' daily lives are more affordable. The White House source told us: "Tough hasn't stopped us before."
