What is in the name? Donald Trump, who demonstrates everything, believes that it is only about the only important thing. The main legislation linked to its second period, “The One Big, Beutiful Bill”, a large part of the brands that converted its supporters on Capitol Hill immediately into the official name of this measure. There are signs that he does not know much about what is present in the last minute pressure sessions, which are worth $ 4.5 trillion-after Trump was reminded by a Republican member of Congress that this procedure actually made major discounts to Medicaid despite Trump’s promises not to touch it. But the material is not the point with Trump. Optics.
Therefore, it was important that the only victory on the land that Democrats recorded during the hours of the drama this week leading to the final bill on Thursday from the tax lukewarm against the wealthy, and the poor bill for the poor was recently protesting the bad name of Trump. The Senate had just withdrew a full set of vote on a set of democratic amendments to this measure-in reality, that when the Senate took its forty-five votes on Tuesday, it broke the previous record in one of the so-called voting-Ramas. All Democrats sponsored efforts to review the legislation have failed. But the leader of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, insisted on a recent symbolic moments before the final vote: a parliamentary objection to the beloved name Trump of this measure – Schumer said it was a violation of the Senate budget rules. Parliament agreed; The name was deleted from the official legislative text. “This is not” a big and beautiful invoice “at all.” “It is really” great and great betrayal. “However, his parliamentary victory was not more shiny; If there is one thing that the Americans likely know about this varying draft law, then this is not what is in it – it is the attractive title, which Trump will continue and everyone else to use. After ten years, you believed that the opposition would have learned not to fight Trump on the brand; You will be wrong.
But this is not a story about the lack of democrats. Basically, their voices and objections, regardless of loud or merit, were not important. The passage of the draft law on Thursday afternoon, in time only for the deadline on the fourth of July, which Trump set, did not constitute a major victory over Trump, but rather an explanation of the crude authority that it extends over the Republican Party today, in fact, it might actually be, as it was more than that, as he was looking for a few of the return that was required through it. Credit when they did. “Maga is not happy,” warned against the social media shortly after midnight. Before dawn, the victory had voted for it, and the House of Representatives voted to agree to the base that would govern the draft law. “What a wonderful night,” was published on Thursday morning.
For a policy, the most famous aspect of the week’s rush to traffic was the extent to which the bill prevailed despite the concerns that were not resolved for many Republicans who publicly complained about everything from the huge increase in the budget deficit to the destructive consequences that they are likely to be in the first place in the first place in the destroyed centers that exposed them to vote. He – is. On Thursday, the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, devoted long clips in his speech opposing the draft law-which lasted for eight hours and forty minutes-to recite the objections against him raised by the Republicans themselves. There were almost many examples of members such as Keith Self, from Texas, who were called the Senate Parliament for the plan “moral and financial bankruptcy” and then moved forward and voted in its favor in any case. Even in a handful of cases where voting in favor of the procedure seems a clear issue to harm the political self, many have done so. For example, the Republic of California, David Valdu, represents an area in which nearly seventy percent of its components depend on a mandate for their health care. On Saturday, Valdu launched what appeared to be a statement of mice – he would vote number, as he insisted, if the draft draft law of the Senate is kept most comprehensive on medical aid in the final measure. However, when they were, yes. Principle No. 1 to understand the Republican Party in the Trump era is to realize that, in a choice between Trump and even the principles of the most passionate Congress, the default option is for Republican to choose Trump.
There were many examples of contentment on the side of the Senate, just like Mike Li, from Utah, who warned on June 18 that “the deficit will eat us alive if we did not get it under control,” and after that, days later, I voted to develop the deficit of trillions of dollars. As in the House of Representatives, Republicans have not been calm, but their time to admit what it means to be a Republican in Washington, Trump. Swallowing the draft law, hugging hypocrisy – or resignation. Telis garlic chose to resign. As in, abandoning his seat in Congress completely. The Republican in North Carolina sparked concerns about trillion dollars or so on to the bill in the draft law, which was pretended by many of his colleagues and Trump himself that he was not present or, as JD Vance, said, “Informed.” On Sunday, after announcing his opposition to legislation and listening to Trump’s threats to bury him politically, Teles announced that he would not seek to re -select next year.
The decision left a free to Tilis to make one of the most persuasive speeches against this action, although he insisted that Trump had been “misled” in one way or another about the discounts to medical aid by the “amateur” offered, and that the damage that would do this was not the line responsible for the bad measures he mentioned. However, it was not possible that Teles was more clear that Trump had broken his commitment. “It is inevitable,” he said, “This is the draft law that will release the promise that Donald Trump has made.”
The decisive vote was delivered by the Senate by Lisa Morkovsky, who reluctantly supported the draft law after Republican leaders made several concessions targeting to help her home in Alaska to escape some of the consequences of the procedure. With the vote of three other Republicans, Morkovsky could have drowned in the bill; Instead, it turned it into a 50-50 tie, which was then broken by Vance. Unlike some of her colleagues who supported Trump, she did not pretend that she was happy with that. In fact, the tormented vision of Moraovsky was after her vote, which I would remember, in addition to the statement it made, mainly on the draft law that made its passage possible. She said: “As we worked to improve the current draft law of Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation – and we all know it.” She added that this is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work through the rooms and is not ready for the president’s office. We need to work together to get this right. “
This, of course, is not what happened. She claimed that she voted in favor of the bill in the hope that Republicans in the House of Representatives have more courage than it has shown. Is anyone surprised that they did not do that? Busty after forty -eight hours, the House of Representatives adopted the entire Senate version. Minutes before it passed on Thursday, the Speaker of Parliament, Mike Johnson, thanked “the bold, wonderful and fearful president, Donald J. Trump” for his patronage of the victory and then Meroe re -thinking similar to Trump to explain the objections. “With a large and beautiful bill, we will make this country stronger, safer and more prosperous than ever,” he said. If he has answers to the interests of his members, in medicaid or anything else, I don’t hear them. It does not matter – in the end, for dozens of legislators, the Republican Party who raised complaints, only two votes against it in the House of Representatives – even less than the Senate.
I will leave the matter to Liles to make a suitable introduction to Murkowski, and many other Republicans, who chose yes easy this week. They do not care. Two months ago, Murkowski topped the headlines of national newspapers when she mentioned in her appearance in the homeland a very real fear of the revenge she and others felt when Trump’s opposition. “We are all afraid,” she said. Is this the true interpretation of its voting now? Even if this is the case, I found myself wondering, is it fair to the privilege of her fear of her fear of many Americans who admit that they will suffer as a result? Trump is Trump, but without the Republican Party surrendering and active compliance, his reckless attack on American institutions and millions will not be among the most vulnerable people. Correspondent Punchbowl news When the newly edited Tillis ask whether there is room for the dispute in the Republican Party today. “If you have the courage,” Tilis to reply. “And if you do not, then there is no.” ♦
