Overview

• Vice President JD Vance toured Canton, Ohio, to promote the GOP’s One Big, Beautiful Bill and to condemn Democratic Reps. Emilia Sykes and Marcy Kaptur for opposing it.
• Democrats countered that Vance misrepresented outreach efforts, with Sykes saying she received no White House invitation and campaign officials warning that the law will slash Medicaid, SNAP and hospital funding.
• The reconciliation law enshrines permanent tax deductions on overtime and tips, allocates hundreds of billions for President Trump’s immigration and border enforcement agenda, and reduces spending on Medicaid and food stamps.
• Vance’s tie-breaking vote in June delivered the narrow Senate passage of the bill, which the Congressional Budget Office projects will add $3.4 trillion to federal deficits over the next decade.
• Republicans view the legislation as central to their 2026 midterm strategy, even as most voters oppose the package despite backing for select provisions like the child tax credit and tip deductions.
