"Something for everyone": Trump praises Senate's "big, beautiful bill"

Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed optimism that his House Republican counterparts will be able to muster the votes needed to send the "one, big, beautiful bill" to President Trump for his signature. Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will need more than Thune's vote of confidence to convince House moderates and conservatives to pass the Senate version of the budget bill before their self-imposed July 4 deadline. But he'll have help from Trump, who said Tuesday the bill has "something for everyone" and predicted an easier time getting it passed in the House."The House — I appreciate the narrow margins they have over there and the challenges for the speaker — but I think we gave them a really strong product," Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters Tuesday. "I think we took what they sent us and strengthened and improved upon it," he added. The big picture: House Rules is set to meet Tuesday afternoon, with Johnson eyeing a Wednesday floor vote. Changes the Senate made are deeply unpopular with both ideological ends of Johnson's caucus, with conservatives decrying how much it would add to the deficit and moderates worried about its deeper cuts to Medicaid.Given his razor-thin majority, Johnson faces a challenge getting the measure over the finish line. The speaker said in a statement after the vote that the House would "work quickly" to clear the measure, adding, "House Republicans are ready to finish the job and put the One Big Beautiful Bill on President Trump's desk in time for Independence Day."The other side: Democrats immediately criticized the bill and predicted GOP lawmakers would face a backlash from voters."Today, Senate Republicans betrayed the American people and covered the Senate in utter shame," Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said at a press conference after the vote. "This vote will haunt Republicans for years to come."
