Trump organizes an event to gather Republicans behind their megabill

Despite a setback from the megabill of President Donald Trump on Thursday morning, the president celebrated an event in the East Room of the White House to bring together the Republicans behind their fiscal legislation.

“We are reducing $ 1.7 billion in this bill, and you will not feel any of that. And your medicaid is left alone. It is the same. Your Medicare and your Social Security are strengthened,” Trump said during his comments, arguing that the Democrats will “reduce their Medicare, Medicaid by half.”

“So we are going to do a real, important job. So, if you can call your senators, call your congressmen, we have to get the vote,” he urged.

The event occurs hours after the Senate parliamentarian rejected the key provisions of Medicaid in the bill, a great blow to the Senate Republicans and their plan to reduce costs in the budget package.

Among the special guests at the event were the delivery drivers, an arkansas barber, law agents and border patrol agents, according to the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. On an early Thursday during a press conference, Leavitt said that the purpose of the event was to “show the American people how this bill works and how there are provisions in this bill that will change their lives.”

Negotiations in the Senate are being carried out in the “act of a great bill” with some fiscal hawks that press for additional changes.

When asked if there is enough time for Congress to work on the issues that arise with the parliamentary’s ruling, the White House remained inflexible that the president hoped to sign it next week on Independence Day.

“We hope that this bill will be on the president’s desk for firm before July 4.

“We hope so,” Trump said when he left the event when asked if Congress can approve the bill in its deadline on July 4.

The frustrated Republican senators resisted the parliamentary’s failure, and some sought to rework the language to approve.

When asked what the president is doing to push his legislation through the finish line, Leavitt indicated that he is organizing meetings in the White House.
