President Donald Trump is pressuring Congress to pass his priority legislation, calling it his “big, beautiful bill,” and demanding lawmakers stay in Washington until it’s passed. On Truth Social, Trump urged the Senate to finalize the deal and coordinate with the House quickly. The bill faces internal GOP divisions over issues like federal deficits and the SALT cap, and must overcome procedural setbacks after Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled some provisions ineligible for the reconciliation process. Senate Republicans are now redrafting portions to comply. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson remain optimistic about meeting the July 4 deadline, echoing Trump’s urgency. However, key disagreements and time constraints make passage uncertain.
