The White House is making every effort to bring congressional Republicans together to pass the president’s One Big Beautiful Bill by the end of next week.

Trump has continually insisted that Congress approve the multi-trillion-dollar tax cut and border bill and present it to him by Independence Day, next Friday.

According to the Daily Mail, the president envisions a grand celebration signing of the substantial bill on America’s birthday, with all GOP members present, on the White House lawn.

The tentative party would be an opportunity for the president to show off his newly installed flag poles on the North and South lawns. It would also be close to the White House’s Rose Garden, which is currently under construction.

However, that planned celebration won’t happen as Trump would like if Congress stalls in passing the president’s ‘one big, beautiful bill.’

The House passed its $2.4 trillion version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) late in May, and the Senate has been altering the staggeringly large package this month. 

After rounds of negotiations in the upper chamber, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has signaled he wants a final vote on Trump’s marquee bill by Friday.

The House would then need to align itself with the Senate’s version or edit its legislative text before late next week, when most lawmakers will seek to flee D.C. for the 4th of July. 

But some Republicans who typically align themselves with the president have openly aired their issues with the cost of the 1,000-page bill.

While some believe the spending cuts aren’t enough, others think they are too deep; some lawmakers want additional tax cuts, and there are those who want the revocation of a controversial AI provision. 

If they lose more than two votes in the House or four votes in the Senate, OBBB can’t pass. And a new setback delivered by the Senate Parliamentarian may send the GOP back to the drawing board, forcing them to rewrite the bill. 

To deal with this possible ‘MAGA mutiny,’ the White House has dispatched its top lieutenants to Capitol Hill to ease tensions and secure votes. 

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt met with the Republican Study Committee on Wednesday, and according to a senior congressional aide in the room, her message was clear: ‘No one goes on vacation until this is done.’ 

Leavitt was flanked by White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, who also attended the meeting with the RSC, a group of over 180 conservative House members. 

‘The president is always willing to make calls,’ she responded when asked if Trump will negotiate directly with on-the-fence members. 

‘We need the Senate to bring it back to the House, the House will vote on it, and we expect it to be on his desk by July 4,’ she reiterated. 

In the House, Reps. Andy Harris, Eric Burlison, Thomas Massie and Chip Roy are publicly opposing the OBBB. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has also said her support for the measure is uncertain due to a provision banning the regulation of AI for 10 years in certain states. 

That’s enough to sink or at least delay passage beyond the 4th of July.

But facing the wrath of Trump, these lawmakers – with the exception of Massie – have folded before. 

House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris referred to the Senate’s version of the OBBB as a ‘crap sandwich,’ during the RSC meeting with Leavitt and Blair, a the senior aide told the Daily Mail. 

‘It was not where it needed to be in the House, but it’s markedly worse in the Senate,’ Texas Republican Chip Roy posted on X Wednesday.

Blair told the room that the final bill ‘probably won’t look exactly like the House bill, probably won’t look exactly like the language that’s out there from the Senate,’ the source said. 

In the Senate, there are several Republicans threatening to hold out, and possibly delay, the OBBB from getting passed. 

Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul – fiscal hawks – have issues with the bill’s impact on the deficit. Meanwhile, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Susan Collins of Maine have raised concerns over rural hospital funding.

The OBBB is getting whittled down, too.

Over the last week, the Senate Parliamentarian has combed through the GOP bill to strip out anything that does not comply with parliamentary rules, meaning many Republican wishlist items were removed from the mega-bill. 

The Parliamentarian’s work was laid bare on Thursday, revealing that many Republican policies were removed, including gutting cuts to Medicaid, an area the GOP has long wanted to reform. 

This will force lawmakers to rewrite portions of the sprawling bill with just over a  week before the president’s deadline.

‘Since the Senate Parliamentarian struck down a bunch of things in the reconciliation bill, it’s been a blood bath,’ Sen. Paul said Wednesday. ‘Already anemic spending cuts have gotten even worse because they’re being excluded from the bill.’

The White House deployed Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent to assuage the senator’s fears on Wednesday.

‘I had a very successful lunch meeting with the senators. I think that we are on track, hopefully, for a vote this Friday for July 4th for the tax bill,’ he told reporters after the meetings. 

GOP congressional leadership is also expecting to pass the OBBB on Trump’s timeline. 

‘When it comes over, we’ll pass it,’ GOP Whip Tom Emmer told reporters this week.

House lawmakers are reticent that the Senate may jam them with a much less conservative bill with just days before the July 4 deadline. And they may put up a fight.

One GOP lawmaker said if that’s the case, the bill could take many months to finalize. 

It’s a non-starter,’ conservative Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said of the Senate’s current version of the OBBB. ‘And we’ll sit here all through July, June, July, August.’

‘It doesn’t matter… we either cut the deficit or else we’ll just sit here and debate it,’ he said. ‘We’re not going to get jammed on this… This is our moment. If we fail to seize it, it’s on us.’
