White House: Dems have 'never been more radical, out of touch' after voting against 'big, beautiful bill'

Context:

House Republicans celebrated the passage of President Trump's sweeping tax and spending cuts package, dubbed the 'big, beautiful bill', which narrowly passed with a 215-214 vote. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Democrats for voting against the bill, labeling them as 'radical' and 'out of touch' with the American people's needs. The legislation aims to deliver the largest tax cuts in American history while securing the border with significant investments, including funding for deportations and completing the Trump border wall. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson, joined Democrats in opposition, potentially facing primary challenges as suggested by Trump. Leavitt emphasized the importance of party unity and the unwavering leadership of President Trump, highlighting the bill's role in ushering in a 'Golden Age of America'.
