WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Breitbart News exclusively he is targeting a July 4 deadline to get the big budget reconciliation plan that would extend President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts– adding no tax on tips, Social Security income, or overtime wages–to the president’s desk for his signature.
This is welcome news for the president and his team, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also has recently said he hopes for a July 4 date for the package to be wrapped up. The package is also expected to fund more of the president’s immigration priorities, as well as energy dominance measures.
Thune’s comments came during a lengthy exclusive on-camera interview with Breitbart News in the U.S. Capitol tap ed on Wednesday afternoon.

thune you rino,quit stalling,get the bill through.
You did nothing since you’ve been in.Get that bill through.
Making them permanent is not even being talk about anymore and it was a campaign promise.
“Was that Sen. Thune who got all of Trump’s nominees through? Or was that some other U.S. Senate?”
Matt Gaetz’s nomination for Attorney General was pulled due to lack of support by Republican senators.
David Weldon’s nomination for CDC Director was denied.
Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense was confirmed but only after Vice President J.D. Vance was forced to vote in order to break a senate tie (three Republican senators voted not to confirm).
The Republican senate has been slow walking Trump’s nominees.
Lots of words to disguise the truth.
Bottom line: Thune got the nominees approved
bs...it’s in the offing...
Why wasn’t Gaetz given a top-tier job that didn’t require confirmation?
He could step into the same job denied him at first.
Some just love to bash our own team instead of the opposition
The tax bill is only a piece of the bill.
Stop knocking our own.
Trump has signed off on 6 bills. He is doing a lot by Executive orders...something like 124 as of April 15th.
They’ve passed 6. Trump is doing a lot via Executive Orders.
Absolutely!
July?
I hate these jerks.
Try better. How about NOW?
Thank him? Fir dragging it out for 60 days?
Screw him.
They better have this passed by July 4th, they’ve had more than enough time.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. This is the big huge beautiful bill...Extending the taxes is only one item in the bill.
But Juky 4th? Read the headline.
