President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for Congress to continue its work until the budget reconciliation package is passed.
The President wrote in a Truth Social post while en route to the NATO summit in Europe, “Now that we have made PEACE abroad, we must finish the job here at home by passing ‘THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,’ and getting the Bill to my desk, ASAP.” Trump views this legislative piece as a pivotal part of his agenda, focusing on tax cuts, spending limits, and investments in border security and defense.
The President has set a deadline of July 4 for the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, even as the Senate grapples with the House-passed version of the bill. Congress typically only passes bills when a deadline is looming, and the President is using the prospect of the Fourth of July holiday as an incentive to expedite the legislative process.
Reports indicate his post continued, “To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, don’t go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK. Work with the House so they can pick it up and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE.” Trump clearly emphasizes the urgency of this matter.
The President predicts that the passage of this bill will bring “unprecedented Safety, Security, and Prosperity for ALL of our Citizens.” He suggests that the combined efforts of Congress and his administration will lead to significant benefits for the American people.
In conclusion, as the deadline draws near, the country waits to observe how Congress will respond to the President’s call for swift action.
