Trump's unpopular bill nears passage, risking political fallout | JQJO

President Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill, nicknamed the "big, beautiful bill," is poised to pass the House. This massive legislation, projected to increase the national debt by at least $3 trillion and leave millions uninsured, is deeply unpopular. Polls show widespread disapproval. Historically, presidents passing large reconciliation bills via budget reconciliation face significant political repercussions, losing congressional majorities in subsequent years. This pattern is attributed to increased public scrutiny, negative media coverage, and the bill's often highly partisan nature.
