President Donald Trump, six months into his complete reimagining of the wielding of executive authority and at the zenith of his political power, could be hours away from the greatest legislative achievement of his career.
Trump’s big, beautiful bill, with its aspirational title conveying both a scope and simplicity uniquely Trumpian — Joe Biden’s clunky labeled “Build Back Better” never caught on — is two votes in the House of Representatives away from final passage on the Resolute Desk.
The goal is within sight, but first, the master marketer-turned-president known for The Art of the Deal must make the most significant legislative pitch of his administration. Trump has the momentum. He successfully secured Senate passage of the bill Tuesday after an all-night amendment vote-a-rama which lasted a record 27 hours.
Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in a victory for Trump that was as close — and as sweet — as it gets in Washington.
