WATCH LIVE: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Delivers Briefing as Senate and House Push to Pass Big Beautiful Bill by July 4 – 1 PM ET
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will brief members of the media today as the Senate and House work to send the One Big Beautiful Bill to the President’s desk this week.
Leavitt told reporters last week that she is confident Congressional Republicans will send the bill to the President’s desk for a bill signing ceremony this week.
The President has demanded that Republicans pass the bill “ASAP” and wants it done before this Friday, July 4.
The Senate voted to advance the legislation by one vote on Saturday and is now debating the bill and weighing amendments.
Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina were the two Republican nays in Saturday’s vote after Ron Johnson of Wisconsin switched his initial no vote to a yes.
However, the GOP, which holds a 53-seat majority in the upper chamber, is still divided on the bill, with a few RINOs threatening to kill it.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, RINO Thom Tillis, who announced he will not seek reelection after Trump slammed him in a statement, was railing on the Senate Floor against the bill’s cuts to Medicaid for illegal aliens, refugees, and asylum seekers.
Republicans can only afford to lose three votes, creating a potential tiebreaker by Vice President JD Vance.
Today's briefing also follows a historic SCOTUS decision, reaffirming the rightful balance of power between the judiciary and the executive. In a 6–3 decision, the Court sided with the Trump administration, ruling that federal district courts lack the constitutional or statutory authority to issue so-called ‘universal injunctions’ — sweeping orders that block government policies nationwide, often at the request of left-wing advocacy groups.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump held a press conference in the briefing room on Friday with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to celebrate the massive win.
The press briefing is scheduled to begin at 1 pm ET.
