President Donald Trump signs the interior policy package designed by the Republicans that he and the GOP call the “Big Beautiful Bill” Friday in the White House.
The massive bill for tax reductions and expenses adopted the Chamber and the Senate this week by thin razor margins along the nearby parties.
But the political battle on the bill is far from over, while it goes from Capitol Hill to the campaign campaign.
“I am deeply concerned about this bill and what it will do. We are going to talk about it a lot,” the Democratic Chris Pappas of New Hampshire said on Friday.

Pappas, who presents himself in the 2026 crucial race to succeed in retirement of the longtime senator Jeanne Shaheen for a seat held by the Democrats, the Republicans would love to return, aim for the bill.
“It was a single party effort and unfortunately, it came to a conclusion that I think it is not good for our state and for our country”, “
Trump praises “Big Beautiful Bill” is “very popular” despite the ballot
Former Republican senator Scott Brown, who announced his candidacy for the Senate last month, sees things differently, and he congratulated the president for helping the leaders of the GOP in the Congress to put the bill to his office in the White House.
“The things he said he was going to do, he did. For someone in politics, I think it’s very rare,” said Brown about Trump.
The bill is filled with promises of Trump campaign trails in 2024 and priorities in the second term on tax reductions, immigration, defense, energy and debt limit.
It includes the extension of its 2017 signature tax reductions and eliminating taxes on advice and overtime.
By making his first mandate tax rate Permanent – they were to expire later this year – the bill will reduce taxes of nearly 4.4 billions of dollars over the next decade, according to the analysis of the Congressional Budget Office and the Committee for a responsible federal budget.

The measure also provides billions of border services and codes the controversial repression of president’s immigration.
And the Restructure bill also Medicaid – the federal program of almost 60 years which offers health coverage at around 71 million low -income Americans. In addition, the Senate Republicans increased Medicaid discounts on what the Chamber initially adopted at the end of May.
Changes to MedicaidAs well as cuts to food cuts, another of the country’s main safety net programs, were partly written as compensation to pay to extend Trump’s tax reductions. The measurement includes a multitude of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those who require Medicaid coverage.
And the legislative package by 3.4 dollars should also increase the national debt by $ 4 billions over the next decade.
Democrats in recent months have castigated the Republicans on social security net changes.
“We are going to talk about this bill because the results are that 46,000 people in New Hampshire will lose their health insurance. We will be hungry, this will not be able to access the aid,” Pappas warned. “And we know that insurance premiums for all granite staters could increase due to unpaid care costs and the burden that places this in our hospitals.”

Asked about the criticisms of the Democrats on the Medicaid cuts, Brown said that “my mother was on well-being. These are very important programs and I already said that people who really need it, those who are disabled, those who cannot go out and work, they should have them.”
“It is intended for people with lower and average income and I support them to obtain these advantages. But I do not support who get them illegally,” said Brown.
And he added that he does not support the advantages of “people who can be valid and can absolutely go out and volunteer, go out and work”.
What is really in the `Big Beautiful Bill ‘of Trump’
Republicans are also offense on the bill, targeting democrats for voting against tax reductions.
The Republicans highlight the recent polls carried out by groups aligned by the GOP which indicate a strong support for the bill due to the tax reduction provisions.
Brown, who was interviewed by Fox News after parading in the annual parade of July 4 of New Hampshire, said “obviously, keeping the 2017 tax reductions in place. Certainly for individuals and businesses, it’s really really critical.”

And pointed at Pappas, whose family for more than a century has the restaurant of the back room Puritan of Manchester, Brown said that “for someone like Chris Pappas, imagine entering the restaurant he owns and saying to his employees” Oh by the way, I will not support your non-tax on advice, your non-tax over overtime. “How do you do this?”

Asked about the GOP attacks, Pappas said: “I support targeted tax reductions for workers, for our small businesses and to make sure that we are caught this relief to people who need it, not to billionaires, to the largest companies in a way that adds $ 4,000 billion to the national debt like this bill.”
“We hoped that there would be an opportunity for a bipartite conversation on taxes and how we can invest in the middle class and workers and our small businesses and, unfortunately, this did not happen,” he added.
