Trump Ponders Another ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

President Donald Trump weighed in Tuesday on the possibility of another sweeping legislative package.

Trump signed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law at the White House July 4, cementing his 2017 tax cuts and advancing several core domestic policy priorities. Appearing on “Kudlow,” Trump responded to a question about whether his administration plans to pursue a second Big Beautiful Bill, including the possibility of another reconciliation package featuring deeper tax cuts, additional deregulation, or related measures.

“So when I first came in we met with John Thune, who is a terrific guy, and, as you know, Mike Johnson, the speaker, and we had about 17 different bills, and I said let’s put them all together, and everybody was against it,” Trump told host Larry Kudlow. “They weren’t, really, but it was a long shot. Many people said you can’t get it done. Don’t do it. It’ll be bad, and we put everything together, and this was a four-year package.”

Trump said Congress passed his sweeping legislative package by bundling numerous proposals into a single bill.

“We put it together, and we got it passed, and it was sort of a miracle because I’ve seen it work the other way. There was something in there for everybody. That’s how we got it passed,” Trump said. “I’m not sure we would have gotten very many of those bills. But we had many bills, and we put them all together. So, in theory we’ve gotten everything passed that we need. Now we just have to manage it, but we’ve gotten everything passed that we need for four years.”

Trump said his administration plans to pursue additional legislation beyond the recently passed package.

“Do we have other things in mind? Yeah, we do. We have things in mind. We have been perfecting a little bit of what we did, because this is the biggest bill ever passed in the history of Congress, and it’s a great thing, but we also have other bills we want to get,” Trump said. “We want to get the Save America Act passed. Save America is on voting. We want people to have voter ID. We want people to have proof of citizenship, and we want to have no mail-in ballots other than if you’re in the military or you’re sick or if you’re away or some reasonable but good excuse.”

The Big Beautiful Bill locks in a permanent extension of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, fulfills his campaign pledge to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay, and permanently raises the child tax credit to $2,200. The law directs hundreds of billions of dollars toward border security and defense while cutting Medicaid spending by roughly $1 trillion over the next decade.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act would tighten federal election rules by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship and photo identification for voters in federal elections. Republicans backing the bill say it aims to ensure that only eligible American citizens appear on voter rolls and cast ballots.
