Watch live: Trump gives remarks from Iowa after 'big, beautiful bill' clears House


President Trump is kicking off his July Fourth weekend at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Thursday evening, hours after the House passed the final “big, beautiful bill” full of Trump’s domestic priorities.

The reconciliation package which includes sweeping tax cuts, a crackdown on immigration, a boost in energy production and huge cuts to Medicaid passed through both chambers of Congress this week, overcoming months of bitter infighting on Capitol Hill and a day ahead of the self-imposed deadline. The bill, which could be the defining legislation of Trump’s second term, is now headed to the Oval Office for signature.

The president is expected to sign the legislation during a ceremony Friday.

His remarks from Des Moines, Iowa, are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. EDT.
