<p>Lawmakers in the GOP-led Congress are racing to pass the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; in order to get it to President Donald Trump&#8217;s desk by his July 4 deadline — Friday. Can it be done? Yes, but the timeline is extremely tight.</p>
<p>The legislation, which spans more than 900 pages, aims to fulfill many of Trump&#8217;s spending and tax-cut goals for his second term. While it did narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-one-big-beautiful-bill-in-massive-win-for-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pass</a> out of the House in late May, provisions in the bill have undergone a makeover, in part because the Senate parliamentarian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-furious-as-unelected-bureaucrat-yanks-conservative-elements-from-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that certain sections flagged by Democrats violated the Byrd Rule, which demands they stay focused on the budget.</p>
<p>Republican senators worked through the weekend to get the bill close to the finish line. They <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-clears-key-senate-hurdle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> to begin consideration of the legislation before Democrats asked the clerks to read the entire package, which took roughly 16 hours. By Monday afternoon, senators were in the midst of a &#8220;vote-a-rama&#8221; for amendments that might last all day. A final vote could happen sometime before or after midnight.</p>
<p>With the expectation that the Senate manages to pass the bill — an outcome that would require only a simple majority because it is being considered through the budget reconciliation process that allows the upper chamber to bypass the filibuster — the House is gearing up to do its part.</p>
<p>House Rules Committee members were <a href="https://x.com/liz_elkind/status/1939680529017663563" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> advised to prepare for a noon meeting on Tuesday. If the panel is able to pass a rule for consideration of the bill, the full House will come into play. However, there will likely not be a quick final vote. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAhVS_GsVs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that he would honor the customary 72 hours to allow members three days to review the text of the legislation. He also <a href="https://x.com/meredithllee/status/1938613838582026495" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conceded</a> that it is &#8220;possible&#8221; the bill&#8217;s timeline may slide past July 4.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the process could come down to a Friday showdown on the House floor. The bill&#8217;s fate is unclear as negotiations were still underway as of press time. Any last-minute changes threaten to add more time as they would need to be approved by both chambers of Congress.</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114770861740243689" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sounded</a> optimistic overnight, saying in a post on Truth Social, &#8220;ONE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, is moving along nicely! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;</p>
