Is Trump’s ‘Golden Age’ a Bridge Too Far?
- On Tuesday night, Senate Republicans rallied behind President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote to send it back to the House.

- The Congressional Budget Office projects a $3.3 trillion deficit increase over a decade; critics warn 17 million could lose coverage, risking nearly 17,000 preventable deaths annually.

- More broadly, with razor-thin majorities, Republicans' reliance on economic gains from the bill may determine midterm success, risking electoral fallout if benefits are delayed.
