White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday, after her Wednesday meeting with the House Republican Study Committee to discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, that she fully expects the Big Beautiful Bill to pass by its July 4 deadline.
President Trump has demanded Republicans send the bill to his desk so that he can fulfill his second-term agenda, including tax cuts and border security.
The bill is currently in the Senate after the House passed it last month by a razor-thin margin.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the bill faces hurdles, as leftist Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough attempts to gut key provisions from the bill to undermine the GOP agenda. The provisions include defunding sanctuary cities, defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (DOGE targeted this agency), effort sto roll back Electric Vehicle mandates, and a proposal to restrict federal courts from issuing nationwide injunctions.
Senate Republicans are now weighing their options to override MacDonough’s rulings and objections.
Leavitt says she is confident that Congress will meet the expectations of President Trump with the bill, and the House is “ready to receive this bill back from the Senate, so they can pass it and bring it to the President’s desk.”
She also slammed the Democrats for their election of radical communist and jihadist Zohan Mamdani in the New York City Mayoral primary this week, saying it “really shows how far left and unhinged the Democrat Party has become.”
“Republicans truly are on the right side of every issue in this country. We are on the side of no men in women’s sports, on the side of low taxes, secure borders,” she said. “So, that was the topic of discussion, and the unity was strong and the camaraderie was high.”
OANN’s Daniel Baldwin asked Leavitt for her takeaways from the meeting, and she signaled that there will be a bill signing ceremony at the White House “next week!”
WATCH:
Baldwin: You’ve been emphatic of the President’s expectations for the One Big, Beautiful bill to hit that July 4 deadline. You had a big meeting on Capitol Hill yesterday with the Republican Study Committee. Did you walk away from that meeting pleased with what you heard? Did it bolster your confidence that Congress is able to meet the expectations of the President?
Leavitt: Yes, I did. The camaraderie at the Republican Study Committee was great. Members, you know, expressed, you know, their feelings about the bill. But, as we saw, the bill passed through the House, despite many people believing it could not, so the House is ready to receive this bill back from the Senate, so they can pass it and bring it to the President’s desk. So, it was a great meeting, and Republicans are very unified. And we also talked about the mayoral race in New York City, and how the victory of the Democratic primary candidate really shows how far left and unhinged the Democrat Party has become, and Republicans truly are on the right side of every issue in this country. We are on the side of no men in women’s sports, on the side of low taxes, secure borders. So, that was the topic of discussion, and the unity was strong, and the camaraderie was high. And I know everyone looks forward to being here at the White House for the bill signing next week.
