Trump’s Signature Legislation Moves Forward Amid GOP Dissent
With the clock that turns, the GOP leaders rush to unite the support of the Senate version of the “Grand and Beautiful Bill” to offer President Donald Trump a victory over his legislation on the signing before July 4.
The Rules of the Chamber’s rules advanced the radical legislative package of Trump early Wednesday morning after long meetings, sending it to the ground for examination in the middle of uncertainty on its adoption, according to a report by the hill.
The Senate bill:
❌Continous transgender surgeries funded by taxpayers for adults and minors
❌ Do not completely remove illegal foreigners from Medicaid and allows illegal extraterrestrial parents to open new Trump accounts
❌ advance the repeal of the new green scam
❌Adds hundreds of billions of dollars… pic.twitter.com/6bcrhffyu7– House Freedom Caucus (@Freedomaucus) July 2, 2025
The panel approved the procedural rule in a close vote of 7 to 6 after the 12 -hour marathon session. (Linked: here is what the Senate has changed in the “big, beautiful” bill)
Two Republicans – the representative of Texas Chip Roy and the representative of Southern Carolina Ralph Norman – joined the Democrats to oppose the measure, invoking concerns about the impact of the National Defigure Bill.
Roy, a member of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus who advocates a reduction in deficit expenditure, said: “Overall, I do not think that this bill realizes what the president and the administration have decided to accomplish”, according to another Hill report.
“I know why they are going to put pressure for that, I know why the president will push for that. They want to see him, and I understand,” he added. “But I think we have more work to do.”
With only a three -vote margin to adopt the bill, the House Republicans face early defections by Norman and the Maryland representative, Andy Harris, who both committed to voting – and Harris warned that the more could follow.
REPRESENTATIVE. Chip Roy (R): Some of us in the House believe that this bill does not remain.
Too many expenses and new Green scam subsidies have remained intact.
Prices alone will not correct deficits. The congress must demonstrate a real restraint and keep our promises to the voters and the president.@chiproytx pic.twitter.com/lqufevb931

Harris was part of a small group of Republicans who chose to vote “present” during the initial vote of the bill in the House. (Related: Trump forced to fight the two extremes of his own party to save “ Big and Beautiful Bill ”)
Harris said that the criticism of the bill raised by the former Elon Musk special government employee are “exactly why a group of us will not support the bill as long as deficit concerns are not dealt with”.
“Mr. Musk is right – we cannot support these deficits,” said Harris in an interview with Fox News. “He understands finance, he understands debt and we have to make real progress. I believe that the Caucus of Liberty will open the way to the realization of this. ”
“I don’t think the votes are there, just as they were not for the Senate initially until certain concessions are made,” he added. “I believe that the rule of the rule will not spend tomorrow morning, then the speaker will have to decide how he will put this back as part of the room.”
The House will have a ground vote after the debate on Wednesday.
We have a lot of victories in the only great nice bill.
But let’s be honest: the spending provisions in this thing are massive and will explode the deficit.
We cannot hold the mortgage of our future.

Some House Republicans – moderate and conservative, including the republican representative of Kentucky Thomas Massie – had warned that they would oppose the bill if the Senate weakens its support on the agenda or increased expenses.
Now, they are faced with a choice: to go back to deliver a victory to Trump or hold the field and risk sink the legislation. (Related: Musk presents heat on Trump, throws support behind the GOP Rebel Massie)
Massie, who was one of the only two Republicans to originally voting “no” on the bill, continued to criticize the legislation and report her opposition while she heads towards the soil.
He also declared Friday at the Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that he could support the bill if a thinner version of the legislation emerged.
The president of the House Republican Conference and representative of Michigan, Lisa McClain, had previously warned the Senate not to make too many modifications to the bill, saying on a daily basis on June 25, “for filming this needle was a very difficult to wire needle.
