White House says Congress debating ‘footnotes’ in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’
President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is facing some challenges in Congress, but White House Director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, remains confident that the current language in the legislation will not be an issue. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Hassett explained that the debates currently happening are over minor details and last-minute language changes.
Reports have surfaced that House GOP members are worried about the version of the bill coming out of the Senate, which will soon make its way to the House for a vote. With slim margins in both chambers, Republican consensus is crucial. The initial version of the bill barely passed the House last month with just one vote.
Despite some concerns from House Republican Chip Roy, Hassett assured that the differences between the Senate and House language are minimal and should not pose a significant problem. He emphasized that the core elements of President Trump’s agenda, such as making the first tax cuts permanent and securing the border, are firmly embedded in the bill.
President Trump has been pushing for swift passage of the legislation and has urged Congress to have the bill on his desk by the Fourth of July. He sees it as a historic gift to the American people as the country celebrates its 250th birthday.
Sources indicate that the Senate vote on the bill is expected to take place this Friday, with the bill then returning to the House for final approval before the president’s deadline. The pressure is on to ensure that the “One Big Beautiful Bill” becomes law in time for the Independence Day celebrations. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
