Give It Some Time: In the first June of Donald Trump’s first term, Bloomberg published a video about the president’s tendency to promise action on any number of things in “two weeks.” But that promised timeline was “rarely” kept, the outlet noted.
In the first June of Trump’s second term, “two weeks” is the promise once again. If various vows made across Washington this month are to be believed, the two weeks between yesterday and July will tell us if America is formally entering a new war in the Middle East and if that “one big, beautiful bill” will pass on deadline.
First, the bill. NOTUS’ Hill team reports that attempts by House Republicans to hasten the process by telling Senators what to pass, and what not to, is not going over well. “I don’t think it’s influencing our decision in terms of what we’re going to do. ‘Oh, this guy’s not going to vote for it, we got to change that.’ They had their chance,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said.
