White House Urges Congress to Pass Trump’s H.R. 1 Bill by July 4
The WHITE House has issued a stark warning to Congress, framing the failure to pass President Trump's H.R. 1 bill by July 4 as the "ultimate betrayal." In a direct communication to Senate offices, officials emphasized Trump's readiness to sign the updated legislation, now dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The administration has thrown its full weight behind the bill, which aims to cement what it calls the "Golden Age of America" by making Trump's past tax reforms permanent.
Key provisions include tax exemptions on tips and overtime, new incentives for domestic auto manufacturing, and additional cuts for seniors on Social Security. The bill also reinforces Opportunity Zones, a cornerstone of Trump's strategy to channel private investment into underserved communities. According to the White House, the legislation could boost take-home pay for a typical family of four by $7,600 to $10,900 annually within four years, while safeguarding or creating up to 7.2 million jobs.
The TRUMP administration ties the bill's success to broader economic goals, including job growth, national defense, and immigration enforcement. The message is clear: Congress must act swiftly or risk being branded as betraying the president's agenda.
