(Scypre.com) – A growing majority of Americans are voicing strong opposition to former President Donald Trump’s new legislative push, a sweeping proposal dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” According to a recent Fox News poll, 59% of registered voters oppose the bill, while only 38% support it. The legislation—promoted by Trump as a cornerstone of his political comeback—includes expansive tax cuts, Medicaid work requirements, entitlement reforms, and infrastructure investment. Despite heavy Republican backing in Congress, the bill’s public reception appears tepid at best, with independent and suburban voters particularly resistant.
Much of the public pushback centers on the bill’s approach to Medicaid and social services. A provision requiring 80 hours of work per month to qualify for benefits has sparked fears of mass disenrollment among low-income and disabled Americans. The Congressional Budget Office has projected that the bill could result in up to 14 million fewer people with health coverage by 2034, while simultaneously adding between $3 and $3.8 trillion to the national debt over a decade. Critics argue that the legislation disproportionately benefits corporations and high-income earners through sweeping tax reductions, while working-class families face stricter benefit rules and fewer protections.
Political reaction in Washington has been divided along sharp partisan lines. The Senate advanced the bill in a 51–49 procedural vote, with only two Republican senators—Thom Tillis and Rand Paul—breaking ranks. Tillis later announced he would not seek reelection, citing his discomfort with key elements of the proposal. Trump, meanwhile, has championed the bill as a necessary step toward restoring “economic liberty” and revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure, calling the procedural vote a “great victory” for the American people. Yet even some former allies, including Elon Musk, have condemned the bill as “utterly insane and destructive,” citing its projected deficit explosion. With the Senate preparing for a final vote ahead of the July 4 deadline, the future of Trump’s “beautiful bill” remains uncertain, caught between Republican loyalty, fiscal concerns, and public disapproval.
