Joe Biden stepped back into the public eye on Thursday to sharply criticize President Donald Trump’s major legislative achievement, taking to X shortly after the House approved the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
“The Republican budget bill is not only reckless — it’s cruel,” Biden wrote. “It slashes Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for our veterans and seniors. It jacks up energy bills. And it could trigger deep cuts to Medicare while driving up the deficit by $4 trillion. All of this to give a massive tax break to billionaires. Working people deserve better.”
The legislation, which passed by a narrow 218-214 vote, delivers on many of President Trump’s central campaign pledges and locks in major parts of his policy platform. It spans a broad spectrum of issues, from immigration enforcement and tax relief to dismantling regulations, making it one of the most consequential bills of Trump’s presidency.
While detractors have voiced concern over the bill’s cost and scope, Trump supporters say its passage gives the president a crucial political win. With Congress now aligned behind him, Trump has greater authority to push ahead with further reforms — and the momentum to ensure they take hold.
In spite of unified Democratic opposition, Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is set to be signed into law during a White House ceremony on Friday.
