Democrats frame Trump’s tax and spending package as pivotal—yet critics warn it could backfire.
President Donald Trump signed a sweeping tax and spending measure—dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill”—over the July 4 weekend.
While he hailed it as a historic triumph that will boost the economy, Democratic leaders argue it disproportionately benefits the wealthy and weakens social safety nets.
In response, House Democrats are eyeing the legislation as a rallying point for midterm 2026 candidates, hoping to paint Republicans as out of touch with working-class America.
However, backing within the Democratic Party is fragmented. Some progressives denounce the bill as regressive, while moderates question whether it can galvanize voters ahead of elections.
With rising national deficits and an impending debt ceiling deadline, analysts warn that the very economic argument Democrats are banking on could be undermined by looming fiscal strain.
