President Donald Trump on Friday signed his mammoth domestic policy and tax bill into law, securing a major legislative win by the July Fourth target date he’d set for Republicans to send it to his desk.
Trump put pen to paper on the 940-page measure, dubbed the “one big beautiful bill,” after a string of favorable developments, including a solid June jobs report, successful U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Tehran, wins before the Supreme Court, a dramatic decrease in southern border crossings and the opening of a high-profile detention facility in his home state of Florida for undocumented migrants.
Trump was in a celebratory mood Friday as he spoke from the Truman Balcony at a White House picnic for military families, as part of the July Fourth celebrations.
