GOP Whip unveils hundreds of coalition endorsements for Trump agenda bill

The Hill

20-05-2025

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer's (R-Minn.) office revealed hundreds of endorsements for the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' of President Trump's tax and spending priorities, marking a major push for the legislation as GOP leaders aim to pass it in the lower chamber this week despite ongoing talks over last-minute changes.
More than 100 outside groups have signed on to say they support final passage of the overall bill so far. Those range from traditional allies of Republicans like Americans for Prosperity — which is pushing for lower taxes — and March for Life Action, to major corporations like Uber, Chevron, and Verizon.
And a website that Emmer's office debuted Tuesday showcases hundreds more endorsements for individual titles of the massive bill, which had input from every House committee. Total endorsements for portions of the bill have reached nearly 1000, according to Emmer's office.
Around 450 organizations and counting — to include Ulta Beauty, Lyft, and The Home Depot — have endorsed the tax portion of the bill, which includes extension of individual tax cuts along with provisions to limit taxes on tips and overtime.
The coalitions project, first shared with The Hill, showcases how the massive legislation impacts many corners of the American economy and American life.
'House Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill has earned historic support because it delivers real results for every corner of America. From securing the border to cementing the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts, this landmark legislation promises a stronger future for all Americans,' Emmer said in a statement.
Managing coalition support for legislation is an under-the-radar responsibility for the Whip, who is also tasked with working to convince the razor-thin GOP majority in the House to support the package.
While Emmer's office already had logged groups' support for individual portions of the bill, staff worked to gather the partners' support for the full package just since Friday, when all portions of the bill were combined for the House Budget Committee. The legislation faced a speed bump in a failed Budget Committee vote before hardline conservatives relented to support the bill
Uncertainty surrounds the final details of the legislation — and the timeline of passing it — as warring factions of the party push for last-minute tweaks. Moderate blue-state Republicans are seeking an increase to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, currently written as $30,000 in the bill; while deficit hawks want more substantial reforms to Medicaid and faster phase-out of green energy incentives, among other changes.
The broad swaths of the bill, though, are set. In addition to extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts and working to deliver on his campaign promises of no taxes on tips or overtime, it phases out green energy incentives passed into law under former President Biden; imposes new work requirements and other restrictions on Medicaid that are estimated to result in millions of people losing coverage under the low-income program; requires states to share the cost of nutrition benefits for the first time; increases the debt limit; and gives funding boosts to the Pentagon and Trump's border and immigration enforcement efforts.
