House Republicans Release Portions of Trump's Desired 'Big, Beautiful Bill'—Here's What We Know
Share this @internewscast.com

Trump has said all along that he wants to make his 2017 tax cuts permanent, and that’s what they’re striving toward:

The bill features an enhanced child tax credit (CTC) and a raised threshold for estate tax liability, often termed the “death tax” by Republicans, along with a variety of other provisions.

It also prepares to make Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) a permanent fixture. Republican leaders had cautioned that not doing so would result in a tax hike exceeding 20% for millions of Americans if the TCJA were to expire at the end of this year.

Missing from the disclosure: details about state and local tax (SALT) deductions and whether these will be sustained, altered, or eliminated. Additionally, there is no mention of a possible “millionaire’s tax.”

Another notable exclusion is a new millionaires’ tax bracket. Trump had floated the idea of a small tax increase on the ultra-wealthy, and a source familiar with his thinking told Fox News Digital earlier this week that Trump was considering allowing a pre-TCJA 2.6% tax hike on people making $2.5 million per year or more.

Those measures and others are not necessarily excluded from the final bill, however.

The legislation is also expected to include new Trump tax pledges like eliminating taxes on tips, overtime wages and Social Security checks for retirees.

Republicans are working around the clock to deliver The One, Big, Beautiful Bill that reduces spending, secures the border, protects Medicaid, unleashes American energy dominance, cuts taxes, and addresses the debt limit to give certainty to markets BEFORE this deadline.

Also on Friday, as Speaker Johnson noted, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned congressional leaders that they need to address the federal debt limit before it’s too late:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congressional leaders Friday that the federal government could be unable to pay its bills as soon as August if Congress doesn’t act, urging lawmakers to address the debt limit by mid July.

In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Bessent said after reviewing April tax filings, “there is reasonable probability that the federal government’s cash and extraordinary measure will be exhausted in August,” noting that Congress is scheduled to be in recess. 

“Therefore, I respectfully urge Congress to increase or suspend the debt limit by mid-July, before its scheduled break, to protect the full faith and credit of the United States,” Bessent said.
