Republicans’ Righteous Win on the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Saved the Party’s Future

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act — a massive package of tax relief, more funding for immigration enforcement, and savings from entitlement changes — is now law, and it’s a triumph not only for President Trump but for the whole Republican Party.

The GOP passed two make-or-break tests here: one of party discipline, the other of political principles.

And the party saved its life by getting this bill enacted.

The stakes were so high because most of the OBBBA’s tax cuts only continued the lower rates Trump shepherded through in his first term.

But that relief was temporary, and if Congress hadn’t made it permanent by passing the law, Americans would have seen their taxes go up.

This wasn’t just a vote about tax cuts — it was a vote against a tax hike.
