Inside the Rush to Pass Trump’s Bill

On this Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy are joined by The Washington Post’s Marianna Sotomayor to explain how Congress managed to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping “big, beautiful bill” by the July 4 deadline—despite serious GOP resistance, long voting standoffs, and some last-minute changes that caught lawmakers by surprise. Then, Tia and Patricia take a closer look at Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde’s reversal on the bill and what it means for fiscal conservatives. They also examine the political risks Republicans now face as the full scope of the bill’s contents becomes clearer. Have a question or comment for the show?
