On Saturday, President Donald Trump enjoyed a round of golf with several Republican leaders, including Senators Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. This outing coincides with a critical moment for the GOP as they strive to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill” by Saturday afternoon, with a self-imposed deadline of July 4.
The White House has expressed its support for the latest revisions to the bill, urging its passage while cautioning that failing to approve the budget would be a significant setback for the party. In a memo distributed to Senate offices, the administration emphasized the urgency of the situation.
Senator Graham took to social media to share details of the golf outing and conveyed optimism regarding the upcoming vote on the bill. He had previously revealed the comprehensive text of the legislation late Friday night.
As Republican leaders, the White House, and various factions within the Senate and House GOP engage in discussions to address key issues, they are also working on adjustments to the caps on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted the importance of timely passage of Trump’s bill during a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans, stressing that it would provide businesses with much-needed certainty in light of the president’s tariffs.
“We need certainty,” Bessent stated. “With so much uncertainty, having the bill on the president’s desk by July 4 will give us great tax certainty, and I believe it will accelerate the economy in the third quarter of the year.”
As the deadline approaches, the outcome of the “Big Beautiful Bill” remains a focal point for the GOP, with implications for both the party’s legislative agenda and the broader economic landscape.
