Washington DC – Politics streets got spicy today!
The Republican Party, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, did what no one could have imagined till a few days ago. Donald Trump’s blooming giant domestic policy bill, which critics considered ‘impossible’, passed the House in a thrilling vote of 215-214 — by just one vote!
???? One vote, victory of many promises!
This was no small bill (Big Beautiful Bill). It included Trump’s biggest promises – tax relief, overtime tax breaks, billions of dollars for border security and even cuts to Medicaid and food stamps.
The meaning is simple: benefits to the rich and a blow to Social Security. But Trump’s supporters called it the ‘real roadmap to make America great again.’
???? Political drama: Twist at every turn!
The House White House corridors have been in a frenzy for the past few days. On one side were hardline conservatives who wanted to push further, and on the other, centrists who were already scared. But Johnson managed both – All-night meetings, compromises and Trump’s ‘personal appeal’ did wonders.
Sometimes it’s good to be underestimated, isn’t it?” – such sentences were uttered by Speaker Johnson himself, with sleepy eyes and a smile, as if he had just returned from winning a war.
???? From backstage to front: Trump’s entry
Trump himself jumped into the fray to save this Big Beautiful Bill .
He called the staunch holdout MPs to the White House, explained to them, persuaded them, and perhaps even made some political promises. On Tuesday, he gave a powerful 90-minute speech, in which ‘deal maker’ Trump was seen in his full form.
???? Just 3 votes and everything could have ended.
Johnson had to be cautious like a pack of cards in his narrow majority.
Three Republicans – Massey, Davidson and Andy Harris – either did not vote or opposed. But the Big Beautiful Bill still passed. Critics like Chip Roy of Texas were also seen voting ‘yes’.
It can be said, there are no permanent friends in politics – there are only benefits!
???? What is special in the Big Beautiful Bill ?
- Huge tax rebate (making the 2017 law more permanent)
- Tax-free overtime and tips
- Medicaid and food stamp cuts
- Billion-dollar investment in border security
- Relief by increasing the SALT cap to $40,000
- Plan to end Biden-era green energy tax exemptions
???? What will happen in the Banga Senate? Now the real battle is yet to come
Now all eyes are on the Senate.
Although the Republicans are there too, they have indicated their ‘amendment’. The question is – will this jugalbandi of Trump and Johnson work in the Senate as well? Or will this ‘One Big Beautiful Act’ get stuck there?
✍️ Conclusion: A glimpse of Trump’s comeback?
Trump supporters are considering this victory as a big political victory before the 2024 elections. A victory that shows that Trump is not only in the field – but in control of the game.
Will this bill become a ban or will it hit the wall of the Senate?
One thing is certain – Trump’s politics is in the news again, and this time, even more intensely.
