Overview

  • Vance launched the first major public sales push for the One Big Beautiful Bill with a rally in West Pittston, emphasizing tax cuts, border security funding and investing in American manufacturing.
  • The administration highlights popular measures like no taxes on tips and overtime deductions while sidestepping mention of $1.2 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP cuts slated to take effect after the midterms.
  • Polls show the package remains broadly unpopular despite backing for select tax breaks, prompting the White House to intensify its outreach.
  • Democrats are organizing the law as their chief midterm campaign issue, branding it a “reverse Robin Hood” that benefits the wealthy at the expense of vulnerable populations.
  • With contentious cuts deferred until after the 2026 midterms, both parties are locked in a messaging battle that could influence control of Congress.
