Victor Davis Hanson Made the Case for Republicans to Pass President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill on Newsline with Bianca de la Garza

Victor Davis Hanson, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, joined Newsline host Bianca de la Garza to discuss the urgency for Republicans to unite and support President Donald Trump’s ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill. Hanson argued that the bill’s comprehensive nature and benefits make it a critical opportunity for the party to solidify its agenda, despite internal divisions. The conversation highlighted the need for party cohesion to push the bill through, positioning it as a pivotal moment for conservatives' policy goals.

The bill has caused controversy among conservatives, with prominent figures like Elon Musk and Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) voicing strong opposition. Musk, taking to X, labeled the bill as "political suicide for the Republican Party," citing polls that suggest widespread voter concerns.

Despite these concerns, Hanson remains optimistic about the bill’s merits, asserting that its benefits outweigh its flaws. “The damage it would do to stop the bill outweighs the apprehensions over some of the components in it,” Hanson stated, praising its comprehensive approach. He emphasized that the bill contains “enough good stuff” to justify moving forward, urging Republicans to overlook internal disagreements and rally behind the bill.
