Washington — President Trump brought pomp and circumstance to his signing of the " big, beautiful bill " on Friday, with an Independence Day ceremony at the White House that included a B-2 bomber flyover.

The massive tax and budget bill President Trump signed into law this month could prove a major challenge for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections — but probably not in the places that will be hurt the most by it.

The sweeping bill that will cut taxes and impact funding to social programs was passed in the House by a vote of 218-214 on Thursday, July 3.
