In a final push to lock down votes for his sweeping "Big, Beautiful Bill," President Donald Trump reportedly spent Wednesday wooing hesitant Republicans with White House charm and merchandise, sending lawmakers back to Capitol Hill clutching signed memorabilia and personal mementos.
With the Senate having narrowly passed the bill the day before, Trump turned his full attention to the House, where divisions among Republicans threatened the legislation's fate. A stream of GOP representatives, many from the influential House Freedom Caucus, cycled through the West Wing throughout the day, according to the New York Times. The meetings were reportedly part policy pitch, part fanfare.
