White House slams Democrats as ‘radical’ after House passes ‘one big, beautiful bill’
The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a bold statement on Thursday, accusing the Democratic Party of being “radical and out of touch” with the American people. This came after the House of Representatives narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s comprehensive tax and spending cuts package by a vote of 215-214.
Leavitt praised the bill as a significant step towards ushering in a “Golden Age of America,” emphasizing that it would deliver the largest tax cut in American history for middle-class families, working-class individuals, and small businesses. The bill aims to reduce the national debt by cutting approximately $1.5 trillion in government spending, as the U.S. government is currently over $36 trillion in debt and running a deficit of $1.05 trillion in the 2025 fiscal year.
In addition to the tax cuts, the bill includes provisions for border security, with funding allocated for at least 1 million annual removals of illegal aliens, completing the border wall, and providing pay raises and bonuses for ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Despite the bill’s passage, two House Republicans, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio, broke ranks and voted against it. When asked about their dissent, Leavitt suggested that President Trump believed they should be primaried, as their actions could lead to tax hikes and financial instability.
Leavitt emphasized the importance of Republican unity behind President Trump, highlighting his high approval ratings and track record of delivering on his promises. She urged dissenting Republicans to take note of the president’s success and prioritize party cohesion.
Overall, the passage of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” marks a significant victory for the administration and the Republican Party. With the Senate set to review the legislation next, the focus remains on securing its final approval and implementation for the benefit of the American people.
In conclusion, the contentious passage of the bill underscores the deep political divides in Washington, with both parties presenting contrasting visions for the country’s future. As the debate continues, it is essential for lawmakers to prioritize the needs of the American people and work towards bipartisan solutions for the nation’s challenges.
