Bannon Presses GOP to Sell Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Amid Weak Polls

Republican strategists are warning that the party has yet to build popular support for President Donald Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping domestic policy law that passed earlier this year. Former White House adviser Steve Bannon said GOP lawmakers have staged “a paucity of town halls” during the August recess and urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to push members onto the campaign trail to explain the legislation’s benefits. Kellyanne Conway echoed the call, complaining that no Democrats support a bill she says helps “every district, every state.” The White House has narrowed its sales pitch to emphasize the measure’s tax-cut provisions, which officials argue will trim the average family’s income-tax bill and remove levies on tips and overtime pay. Vice President JD Vance is touring battleground states, including a stop at a Georgia manufacturing plant, to highlight what aides now brand as “working-families tax cuts.” Public opinion remains a hurdle. A recent Pew Research Center survey found only 32 percent of Americans approve of the law, while a Wall Street Journal poll showed 52 percent oppose it and 70 percent believe it primarily helps the wealthy. Bannon warned that failure to shift perceptions could hurt Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, especially in competitive Senate races such as Georgia, where Democrats have labeled the promotion tour a “damage-control mission.”
