Despite a setback from President Donald Trump’s Megabill on Thursday morning, the president celebrates an event in the East Room of the White House to bring together the Republicans behind their fiscal legislation.
“Later this afternoon, here at the White House, the president will organize a ‘a large and beautiful event’ in the East Room to gather the Republicans to obtain the only big and beautiful bill in the finish line. In that event, the Americans will join every day of the whole country, which will benefit massively from common sense policies and the provisions within this bill of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday written on Thursday.

Negotiations in the Senate are being carried out in the “act of a great bill” with some fiscal hawks that press for additional changes.
On an early Thursday, the Senate parliamentarian rejected Medicaid’s key provisions in the bill, a great blow to the Senate Republicans and their plan to reduce costs in the budget package.
When asked if there is enough time for Congress to work on the issues that arise with the parliamentary’s ruling, the White House remained inflexible that the president hoped to sign it next week on Independence Day.
“We hope that this bill will be on the president’s desk for firm before July 4.
This occurs when the frustrated Republican senators opposed the parliamentary failure, and some seek to rework the language to approve.
When asked what the president is doing to push his legislation through the finish line, Leavitt indicated that the president is organizing meetings in the White House.
