Democrats Aim to Oust GOP House Majority by Attacking Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ in 2026 Midterms

Democrats call the bill a giveaway to billionaires, while Republicans say it protects taxpayers and jobs.

Democrats are signaling plans to make the One Big Beautiful Bill Act endorsed by President Donald Trump a central focus of their push to reclaim the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the party’s House campaign arm, said in a July 1 memo that political messaging from now until the 2026 election will emphasize what it sees as the harmful effects of the bill, which the DCCC has dubbed the “Big, Ugly Bill.”

“In May, we told you a vote for the Big, Ugly Bill would be the defining contrast of the midterm election and cost Republicans the House majority,” the memo stated. “House Republicans didn’t just pass their Tax Scam once – they’re being forced by their D.C. Party Bosses to double down and vote for it again, pushing through a disgusting abomination that will hurt everyday Americans to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.”

After clearing the Senate in a dramatic 51–50 vote on July 1 in which Vice President JD Vance broke the tie, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act now heads back to the House, where Republicans are seeking to pass it and send it to the president’s desk for his signature ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline.

Trump, speaking after the Senate vote, said he expects the bill to advance smoothly in the House. Previously, he called it “one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of our country,” praising it for provisions that “secure our borders, turbocharge our economy, and bring back the American dream.”

Democrats have sharply criticized the legislation, saying it would cut services for working families, such as health care and food assistance, while delivering tax benefits to the wealthy. The DCCC said it plans to hammer this message as part of its strategy to unseat vulnerable Republicans in next year’s elections.

“From now until November 2026, the DCCC will continue to communicate the harm this bill will cause, uplift stories of the everyday Americans negatively impacted, and mobilize voters through traditional and non-traditional organizing tactics, earned media, and paid communications in order to hold vulnerable Republicans accountable for abandoning their central promise to voters,” the DCCC said in the memo.

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the GOP’s campaign arm for House races, rebutted the DCCC’s description of the bill.

“The One Big, Beautiful Bill is a big, beautiful opportunity to show how Republicans are delivering results and Democrats are once again increasing taxes on hardworking Americans and putting politics over people,” NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement. “We won’t let voters forget Democrats’ betrayal next fall.”
