Trump's megabill is inevitable. Democrats' terrible approval ratings aren't.
Opinion by Susan Del Percio • 23h
Just in time for the unofficial start of summer, Speaker Mike Johnson was able to cajole his members into passing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” It took a great deal of finagling, plus a huge assist from the president, who warned, threatened and demanded that House Republicans get it done.
The megabill now moves to the Senate, where some Republicans are already speaking out about the changes they want made. This means we are likely going to see a lot of haggling and dealmaking over the next couple of months ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline. GOP dissent aside, Democrats may not ultimately be able to stop the bill’s final passage. But they do now have a small window of opportunity to define the legislation, and Trump’s party, ahead of next year’s midterms.
So far, Democrats have struggled to land on a clear message of opposition. And as bad as Trump’s approval ratings are, the Democrats are also polling at depressing lows.
