President Trump has called the sweeping domestic policy bill that
recently passed in the House the most important piece of
legislation in his second term — a single bill that would unlock
his entire domestic agenda.

But as that bill heads to the Senate, it’s raising questions
among Republicans about whom Trumpism is really for. Today, the
New York Times congressional correspondent Catie Edmondson joins
“The Daily” to talk about the big messy battle over what
Republicans have named the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Guest: Catie Edmondson, a congressional correspondent for The New
York Times.

Background reading:

President Trump is pressuring Republicans to back his policy
bill, but the measure’s opponents have a powerful new ally: Elon
Musk.

Mr. Trump’s policy bill would add $2.4 trillion to the national
debt, the Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday. That
estimate was all but certain to inflame concerns over the fiscal
consequences of the legislation.
