President Donald Trump jumped in Tuesday to help House Speaker Mike Johnson try to muscle a GOP budget blueprint to passage, a step toward delivering his “big, beautiful bill” with $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in spending cuts over stiff opposition from Democrats — and even some Republicans.

The House passed its Trump-backed budget bill Tuesday after a battle with hardliner holdouts concerned over the level of spending cuts.
