A CNN reporter said the quiet part out loud during the moments immediately following the House’s passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, conceding after a series of major wins for the White House that President Donald Trump had clearly “figured out how to work the system in his favor.”

The bill’s passage came on the heels of another win — a stronger-than-expected jobs report — and a marathon floor speech from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the reporter’s reaction reflected just that.

WATCH:

“This could not be a bigger deal for President Trump and for this administration. They believe this bill really encapsulates everything President Trump wants to do with his agenda, that his legacy is going to be sealed in some of the items that are in this bill, and that’s why it was so important to President Trump to get this across the finish line.”

“It has been something that has been weighing on the White House,” she continued, noting the negotiations that had been ongoing to get the bill over the line.

“One of the other parts of this that I think might go unnoticed is how much this time, this second term for President Trump, is different than the first term. They have figured out, in that four years that President Trump was not in office, how to work the system in their favor. That was not something we saw during the chaotic first term.”

“And you know, the last couple days we’ve been talking about this nonstop: this idea that, oh, is the bill on the verge of collapse — and every time I spoke to White House officials, they said the like their odds,” she concluded, noting again that Trump has appeared far better equipped to rally Republicans around his agenda in his second term.
