Washington — President Trump brought pomp and circumstance to his signing of the " big, beautiful bill " on Friday, with an Independence Day ceremony at the White House that included a B-2 bomber flyover.

Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

President Donald Trump has long touted eliminating taxes on Social Security. His administration says he has achieved it, but the bill says otherwise.
