On Capitol Hill, members of Congress are enthusiastically promoting the virtues of President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. This ambitious legislation boasts the largest tax cut in history, promises increased wages and take-home pay, implements significant spending reductions, enhances border security, safeguards Medicaid, modernizes air traffic control, and much more.
Here’s what some Congressional leaders are saying across the nation:
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on FoxNews.com: How Senate Republicans are restoring rule of law and securing the border for years to come
“While our Democrat counterparts are busy causing chaos, Republicans are steadfastly defending the principles that matter. As the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have unveiled the legislative text for our section of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Our provisions represent a historic investment in reinforcing our border security and immigration system, while also backing local law enforcement and protecting American families from violence, reminiscent of the unrest we’ve seen in cities like Los Angeles. The expenses associated with the judiciary section will be counterbalanced by immigration application fees, thereby injecting accountability into the immigration process.”
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) in Cowboy State Daily: Trump’s Border Triumph — Making America Secure Again
“The Senate is in the process of shaping President Trump’s comprehensive legislative initiative, the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, which we aim to pass by July 4th. This legislation encompasses crucial immigration measures, including funding to complete President Trump’s border wall, and equipping Border Patrol and ICE agents with the necessary resources, technology, and personnel to fulfill their mission. The American electorate clearly expressed their wishes last November, signaling that it’s time to secure our border fully and deport illegal aliens. These provisions empower President Trump and his administration to fulfill this mandate.”
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) on FoxNews.com: Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Will Keep Our Border the Most Secure It’s Ever Been
“Our nation stands at a pivotal moment. Thanks to the leadership of President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Noem, our border remains secure. We now face a choice: either build on this success by equipping law enforcement with the resources they require to maintain this security through the One Big, Beautiful Bill, or let the sacrifices of our dedicated personnel go to waste.”
Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) in The Hill: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act Delivers for America. Now the Senate Must Deliver Too.
“The House of Representatives has acted upon the American people’s mandate by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, an unprecedented and impactful set of conservative reforms in our nation’s history. This transformative package promises record tax cuts, spending reductions, and substantial investments in border and national security. The onus is now on the Senate to swiftly advance the One Big Beautiful Bill to the president’s desk.”
Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA) in the Ritzville Adams County Journal: One ‘Big, Beautiful, Bill Act’ is Good for Us
“This legislation fulfills the promises made to the American people: securing our border, slashing taxes, unleashing American energy, and restoring equity in our economy. It reflects the demands of voters and my pledge to deliver.”
Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) in the Lexington Herald-Leader: Senate Must Pass Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
“Last month, I voted in favor of President Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill. It was an easy decision. The president’s leadership has yielded a transformative legislative win that will provide tax relief for families, small businesses, farmers, and seniors. In addition to tax breaks for Kentuckians still recovering from the four years of rampant inflation under Joe Biden, we are allocating resources to assist law enforcement in securing the Southern border and reducing the deficit by $1.6 trillion, all while fortifying Medicaid for those who need it. Therefore, my message to U.S. senators, particularly those from Kentucky, is clear: Pass the Big, Beautiful Bill and send it to the president’s desk. Kentuckians cannot afford to wait.”
Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) in The Detroit News: One Big Beautiful Bill Corrects the Nation’s Course
“Following four years of turmoil under the Biden-Harris administration — from an overwhelmed southern border to reckless spending that has ballooned our national debt — we are on the brink of disaster with just one poor decision or failure to act. This is why I supported the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which promises middle-class tax relief, secures our borders, strengthens our defense, and restores fiscal responsibility that families in northern Michigan have embraced for generations. This bill will counteract excessive spending and aid in the recovery of our economy.”
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune: Floridians Benefit from Trump’s Tax Cuts. We Can’t Let Democrats Take Them Away.
“As Floridians work to recover from the disastrous Biden administration, the last thing they require is a massive tax increase — yet that’s exactly what will occur if Congress fails to act. Hence, Republicans are striving to extend President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, ensuring that all Americans receive the relief they deserve.”
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Sens. Ossoff, Warnock Should Support Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
“Georgia’s Democratic U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock should not stand in opposition to President Trump’s ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ Act (OBBBA) … the most consequential legislation of our lifetime. This bill is a legacy-defining initiative, and I am proud to support it as it advanced through the House of Representatives, realizing President Trump’s comprehensive domestic agenda that over 77 million Americans endorsed last November. That’s precisely why Ossoff and Warnock will resist this bill at every opportunity.”
Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) on Indianz.com: Promises Made, Promises Kept
“Last November, the American populace delivered a mandate when they overwhelmingly voted for change. 77 million Americans clearly indicated their desire for a secure border, the resurgence of American energy dominance, reduced taxes, a military focused on genuine warfighting rather than ‘woke’ initiatives, and a government that roots out fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars — essentially the platform President Trump ran on. Now, within six months of the new Trump Administration, the House of Representatives has already fulfilled these promises by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) on RealClearPolitics.com: A Big, Beautiful Win for America
“The American Dream is once again within reach, and our nation is back on a path towards prosperity, security, and sanity, thanks to the actions of the House of Representatives last week. With the House’s passage of President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ we have demonstrated that it is feasible to restore common sense to our government, protect taxpayers, secure our borders, and pave the way for a national Golden Age — all encapsulated within one package.”
Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) in the Billings Gazette: We Are Staring Down the Barrel of a 26% Tax Increase
“We are indeed facing the prospect of a 26% tax hike. If Congress fails to act and extend President Donald Trump’s tax cuts by January 1 of next year, the average Montana family of four will lose over $1,400 annually … In plain terms, opposing an extension of the TCJA equates to voting for a tax increase — affecting everyone from the affluent to the less fortunate, including local businesses and family farms. Republicans are committed to preventing Democrats from leading America off a fiscal cliff and averting this catastrophic tax increase that threatens the financial stability of countless Montanans.”
Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) in the Tallahassee Democrat: Floridians: Don’t Let Washington Raise Your Taxes While You’re Not Looking
“Families across Florida’s 2nd Congressional District are already feeling the pinch from rising costs — at grocery stores, gas stations, and on utility bills. The last thing they need is a tax hike. Without prompt Congressional action, that nightmare is precisely what awaits … Preventing this tax increase must be a bipartisan priority. We owe it to the people we serve to protect and build upon the progress our nation has achieved. Congress must act to make the TCJA permanent — safeguarding prosperity, promoting growth, and preserving the American Dream for future generations.”
Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) in Newsweek: House Republicans Are Keeping Our Promises on Border Security
“Americans yearn for safety in our neighborhoods, yet time and again, dangerous illegal immigrants have committed heinous acts against innocent people. It is a privilege to serve on the House Homeland Security Committee and lead efforts to secure our borders, fulfilling our public safety promises to constituents. Recently, Homeland Republicans advanced recommendations for border security funding as part of Congress’ reconciliation package, including over $46 billion to complete the border wall system. This funding will facilitate the construction of numerous miles of primary wall, barriers along rivers, and advanced technology like sensors. Establishing a physical border is essential to keeping harmful individuals out.”
Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA) in the Times-Republican: Iowa Families Will Benefit from President Trump’s ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’
“Recently, my Republican colleagues in the U.S. House and I passed President Trump’s ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill.’ This legislation encompasses multiple provisions aimed at increasing the financial well-being of Iowa families. It is projected that families could see an increase of up to $13,300 in take-home pay, with workers potentially earning up to $11,600 more over four years. With measures that eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and auto loan interest for American-made vehicles, working parents can be confident that their extra efforts for their families will indeed pay off.”
Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) in the Park Rapids Enterprise: One Big Beautiful Bill Act Helps Families and Small Businesses
“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act safeguards Medicaid for those who truly need it … It permanently extends the 2017 Trump tax cuts, which have proven beneficial for families and small businesses, enabling them to grow and thrive even during the challenging economic conditions we faced in recent years. This bill permanently doubles the guaranteed standard deduction and increases it by $2,000 for every American family. It also introduces new tax relief for seniors, adding an additional $4,000 deduction for individuals aged 65 and above. Furthermore, it makes the 199A small business deduction permanent and expands it to 23% for the over 60,000 small businesses in CD7, while safeguarding the doubled death tax exemption and expanding it for nearly 30,000 farms in CD7, assisting families in passing down their legacies. Additionally, it prevents the child tax credit from being halved and extends it to $2,500 to support 74,460 families in CD7. It eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay. Moreover, it expands 529 education plans, allowing families to make informed choices for their children’s education, whether for K-12 materials, universities, or trade schools.”
Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) in The Washington Times: One Big Beautiful Bill Act Provides a Flight Path for a Modern Air Traffic Control System
“This year has been particularly challenging for U.S. aviation, marked by a series of tragic crashes that have claimed lives. We have also witnessed technology failures leading to repeated air traffic control outages and flight delays. Furthermore, the shortage of certified air traffic controllers has added pressure to our aviation infrastructure. President Trump, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and House Republicans are saying ‘enough is enough,’ and we are taking action.”
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) on RealClearPolitics.com: ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Will Provide Americans a Secure Border
“The only way we can fulfill our promises to the American people is to solidify President Trump’s agenda. Funding practical and effective border security measures through reconciliation is the essential first step.”
Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS) in The Hill: Investing in Border Security is a Win for Every American
“Since President Trump took office in January 2025, our border security has improved, the flow of illegal drugs has decreased significantly, and illegal border crossings have dropped to historic lows. The successes of the Trump administration in this area cannot be overstated. Now, Congress must fulfill its obligation to codify the achievements of President Trump.”
Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) on FoxNews.com: GOP Fights to Protect Medicaid for America’s Most Vulnerable While Democrats Fearmonger
“House Republicans prioritize eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in programs and safeguarding expectant mothers, their children, low-income seniors, and individuals with disabilities who rely on Medicaid. Unfortunately, Democrats continue to propagate the false narrative that 13 million individuals will lose healthcare coverage under OBBBA.”
Rep. Mike Haridopolous (R-FL) in Florida Today: “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a Win for Florida Families and Workers
“America voted for change last November, and now we are delivering it. Over the last four years, families have faced rising prices, shrinking paychecks, and an expanding government that has been reckless with your tax dollars. People are working harder than ever but falling behind. That’s unacceptable, which is why my Republican colleagues and I in Congress are committed to passing the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’ This legislation is about returning to basics: rewarding hard work, cutting waste, and prioritizing American families.”
Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN) in Newsweek: The Truth About the One Big Beautiful Bill—and What Democrats Don’t Want You to Know
“Democrats have spent weeks spreading fear about alleged cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Let’s be clear: those claims are unfounded, and they are fully aware of it. This bill actually aims to protect and preserve these essential safety net programs for the individuals they were designed to aid—pregnant women, children, individuals with disabilities, and seniors. It tackles the real issues of waste, fraud, and abuse that have plagued our federal health programs for decades.”
Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) in the Washington Examiner: The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Protects Medicaid for Those Who Need It
“When I joined Congress, I assured the constituents of Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District that I would seek practical solutions to enhance the lives of working families — devoid of the drama, the headlines, or the political theatrics. This commitment is exemplified in the House’s recently passed ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ a pragmatic, solutions-oriented piece of legislation that restores accountability to our safety net programs. Regrettably, misinformation has obscured the bill’s true intent, particularly regarding Medicaid. Let me clarify: This legislation does not cut Medicaid for those who genuinely require it. Instead, it fortifies the program for low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities while eliminating waste and holding wrongdoers accountable.”
Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN) in the Washington Examiner: The ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Will Restore the American Dream
“Unfortunately, if Congress does not act, many provisions of the TCJA will expire at the end of this year. Should that happen, the average family in my district of West Tennessee could face a staggering 26% tax hike. An heir inheriting a family farm might be forced to sell it to cover exorbitant estate taxes. Furthermore, a small business owner competing against larger corporations may see her tax burden nearly double. These figures are not mere statistics in Washington; they have real implications for each and every one of us. If these provisions lapse, the American dream could slip further from reach for many of our citizens.”
Rep. Tracey Mann (R-KS) in the Kansas City Star: Kansas Deserves the Gift of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill
“I recently cast my vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to advance the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which promises to deliver working- and middle-class Americans the largest tax cuts in history while making overdue investments in our nation’s border security by completing the border wall. The legislation equips Customs and Border Patrol with modern technology to combat drug and human trafficking, while increasing detention capacity for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport violent criminals and gang members residing illegally in our country.”
Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) in the Pawnee Republican: Building Certainty for Small Businesses
“For workers and entrepreneurs, few places present as much economic opportunity as the United States. Our dynamic workforce, abundant natural resources, quality educational institutions, and a rule of law committed to safeguarding capital investments, coupled with unique features like deepwater ports, create unparalleled opportunities for American families. However, there is ample room for improvement. The federal government remains inefficient, and we must address issues such as our spending-driven budget deficit. Additionally, too many work-capable Americans remain sidelined, despite the multitude of good jobs available in our economy. Therefore, the reconciliation bill passed by the House enhances accountability for state management of federal benefit programs and improves incentives for beneficiaries to secure meaningful employment.”
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) on FoxNews.com: It’s Time for Congress to Deliver President Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ to His Desk
“Republicans have a historic opportunity to deliver America First tax reforms that reward hard work, bring jobs back home, expand opportunities, and, most importantly, rebuild the American economy for hardworking families across our nation. President Donald Trump has been unequivocal about what he expects Congress to achieve — 77 million Americans supported his vision for lower taxes for those who drive our economy forward at the ballot box. Now, the One Big Beautiful Bill passed by the Ways and Means Committee delivers for those workers. It makes permanent the expiring provisions of the effective 2017 Trump tax cuts, offers additional tax relief to American families, and incentivizes domestic manufacturing and hiring. This additional tax relief includes eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay, and auto loan interest, while also providing tax relief for seniors. Congress must not fail the American people.”
Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) in Leader Publications: Empowering Hardworking Americans Through One Big Beautiful Bill
“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act culminates each committee’s plan to eradicate waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington while making essential investments in our communities. Overall, the bill would yield over $1.6 billion in savings, allowing the federal government to be more responsible with American tax dollars and guiding us back towards fiscal prosperity. The cornerstone of this package is the permanent expansion of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which revitalized our economy by unleashing unprecedented job growth and higher wages for working families. Two years post-enactment, real median household income rose by $5,000, and real wages increased by 4.9%, enabling families to retain more of their hard-earned money. The reforms also encouraged businesses to invest more domestically, reversing the trend of U.S. companies relocating overseas.”
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) in The Virginian-Pilot: Voting for Spending Bill Kept My Word to Virginians
“Let me clarify: I fulfilled my commitment. I advocated for Virginians and voted to safeguard working families, bolster our safety net, and invest in national security and economic opportunity. Before this bill was even brought to a vote, I publicly voiced my concerns to demand protections for vulnerable populations. In April, I contacted House leadership to emphasize that budgetary balance should not come at the expense of pregnant women, children, seniors, or individuals with disabilities. I insisted on reforms that would support patients, assist new mothers, and expand savings for working-class families. This legislation delivers on that promise.”
Rep. Rudy Yakym (R-IN) in Goshen News: The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Explained
“The One Big Beautiful Bill is not a bloated spending package. It doesn’t allocate funds to the Department of Education, HUD, or the EPA. Rather, its intentions are clear: to cut taxes, rein in federal spending, permanently secure the border, and reform welfare. When I engage with Hoosier manufacturers, small business owners, or simply converse with friends at the grocery store, a common sentiment emerges: they feel overtaxed. I wholeheartedly agree. That’s why this bill makes the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts permanent. This translates to larger paychecks, increased investment in America, and robust incentives for companies to remain in the U.S. instead of outsourcing jobs.”
