Democrats see Trump’s big bill as key to their comeback. It may not be so easy
July 3, 2025
President Donald Trump says his bill is big and beautiful. But Democratic leaders see the package as the key to their party’s resurgence. Democratic officials are finalizing plans for dozens of rallies, voter registration drives, attack ads, bus tours and even a multiday vigil. They intend to highlight the most controversial elements of Trump’s bill — especially deep cuts that will leave nearly 12 million more low-income Americans without health coverage and millions without food assistance. Democrats vow that the Republican bill will be the defining issue of every major election between now and next fall’s midterms. But it’s not certain that the issue will be the political winner Democrats hope.
