Overview

• At a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, Trump said he will stop calling the law the "great, big, beautiful" bill and highlighted "no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security" and "no tax on overtime."
• The GOP-only law increases immigration enforcement and military spending and trims Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy incentives, with CBO estimating a $3.4 trillion deficit increase over 10 years.
• Public support remains weak, with Pew finding 46% disapprove, 32% approve and 23% unsure, and a separate CNN/SSRS poll after enactment showing 61% oppose.
• Democrats call it a giveaway to the wealthy paid for by health care cuts, and analyses cite deep Medicaid reductions, projected coverage losses of about 12 million by CBO and up to 20 million per Senate Democrats.
• Republicans are steering messaging to tax relief under a "Trump's Working Families Tax Cut" frame, as Vice President JD Vance schedules rallies like a Wisconsin stop on Aug. 27 and some officials still use the old name.
