 "Trump calls 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' a win for Americans after Senate nod")
US President Donald Trump has called the passage of the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' a “major policy win”, declaring that the biggest beneficiary would be the American people.
Posting on Truth Social after the US Senate cleared the bill in a 51–50 vote—with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote—Trump wrote: “Almost all of our Great Republicans in the United States Senate have passed our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'. It is no longer a ‘House Bill’ or a ‘Senate Bill’. It is everyone’s Bill. There is so much to be proud of, and EVERYONE got a major Policy WIN — But, the Biggest Winner of them all will be the American People, who will have Permanently Lower Taxes, Higher Wages and Take Home Pay, Secure Borders, and a Stronger and More Powerful Military (sic).”
Trump defends social programmes in bill
Trump further added that the bill strengthens rather than cuts core social programmes. “Additionally, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Benefits are not being cut, but are being STRENGTHENED and PROTECTED from the Radical and Destructive Democrats by eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse from those Programs (sic),” he said.
House vote awaited ahead of July 4
The legislation now moves to the House of Representatives, where it faces a tougher path. Trump urged lawmakers to present the bill to his desk before the US Independence Day on July 4.
In his post, Trump claimed the bill would usher in a new economic era. “The country is going to explode with massive growth,” he said. “Even more than it already has since I was re-elected.”
He added that the bill would put the US on a fiscal path by “greatly reducing the federal deficit, and setting the country on a course for enormous prosperity in the new and wonderful Golden Age of America.”
Senate vote follows intense negotiations
The Senate passed the bill after days of negotiations, culminating in a 27-hour marathon of amendment votes aimed at winning over dissenting Republicans.
Despite its Senate clearance, the bill faces opposition in the House, where at least six Republican lawmakers have voiced concerns over proposed Medicaid cuts and changes to clean energy incentives.
