Talk about no taxes on tips, less about Medicaid cuts: How GOP is trying to sell Trump's landmark law

The White House just spent six months jamming a massive legislative package through Congress with almost no margin for error. Now comes the real challenge.

Donald Trump’s aides and allies are embarking on a concerted bid to sell the president’s “big, beautiful bill” to voters who are mostly unfamiliar with its specifics and skeptical of what little they have heard about the administration’s central domestic accomplishment.

The yearlong mission — relying in part on dispatching top Trump officials across the country to highlight the bill’s economic benefits — is seen as critical to preserving GOP control of Congress in next November’s elections, according to interviews with more than half a dozen White House aides, allies and Republican lawmakers.

And for a White House that’s cast Trump’s agenda as a financial boon for Americans, the midterms represent a high-stakes referendum that could determine the course of his final years in office.
