What happened

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt argued the Senate must pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, according to the White House video.

Leavitt said anyone who votes against the bill, including Sen. Rand Paul, will be voting for a tax hike of more than $4 trillion on the American people, and their voters will know about it, as she stated the figure. She called the bill the most historic piece of legislation to move through Congress in modern history, as she characterized it, and said it saves nearly $2 trillion, as she stated the savings.

Leavitt listed the President’s priorities in the bill: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime for law enforcement officers and others working extra hours, effectively ending taxes on Social Security for seniors, historic investments in border security, and historic funding for the Golden Dome and national security, as she described the contents. She said the bill had passed the House, Senate discussions were ongoing, the President would not back down from the priorities he promised, and the bill needed to get through the Senate and back to the President’s desk as soon as possible, as she stated the push.
