Elon Musk Touts 'Laser-Focus' Plan for How New Party Can Control Congress
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elon Musk floated a proposal for how his new political party could build power in Congress in upcoming elections. Newsweek reached out to Musk for comment via the Tesla press email. Why It Matters Musk left the Trump administration in May and has since proposed creating a new political party called the "America Party" amid his feud with President Donald Trump over the "Big Beautiful Bill," which Congress voted to pass on Thursday. Third parties have struggled to break through in the United States, where the Democratic and Republican parties have for decades held a lock on Washington—despite frustration with both parties among many Americans. But Musk, the world's wealthiest person, has considerable funds to support a new party if he chooses to do so. What to Know Musk on Friday took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to suggest how the America Party could build power and hold considerable sway in Congress. The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is the "perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!" Musk wrote. The new party could "laser-focus" on two or three seats in the Senate and eight to 10 seats in the House of Representatives to build enough power to play a key role in determining which legislation makes it through, Musk wrote.

Chesnot/Getty Images "Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people," he wrote. His comments come after a new poll found that 40 percent of voters say they would consider backing his party. The Quantus Insights poll of 1,000 registered voters from June 30 to July 2 found that 40 percent of voters, including many Republicans, would consider supporting the party. Why Third Parties Struggle in the U.S. — Political Expert Grant Davis Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University, told Newsweek there are "several structural hurdles to creating and maintaining a viable third party." "The most significant is that with some exceptions at the local levels, our legislatures and executive elections use geographically defined districts that are represented by one person, who is elected by finishing first in the field, regardless of the size of the plurality.," he said. "We also replicate that system for president through the Electoral College, and the practice of the states, except for Nebraska and Maine, to award all their electoral votes to the candidate finishing first, regardless of the size of their plurality." This means that parties that can't compete to finish first have "little to offer their voters" and "have a hard time sustaining themselves, even after they are created," he said. People's range of political opinions in the U.S. tends to be narrower than in other countries, so it's harder for another party to break through, according to Reeher. "We have tended to have a broad consensus that argues over two different flavors of similar things," he said. "No one is really arguing for the elimination of Medicare or Social Security, for instance, and no one is arguing for genuine socialism (though the latter may be changing). What would a middle party be based on, policy-wise?" It's more likely that the two main parties will work on figuring out better ways to appeal to the middle, Reeher said. What People Are Saying Quantus Insights wrote in a blog post: "The signal is clear: a large slice of the electorate is open to something new, something disruptive. This is not about Musk. It's about the growing sense that the existing order is failing to represent the country as it truly is, or wants to be." Musk wrote in June: "If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE." Political Scientist Larry Sabato told CNN: "Well, certainly it's possible, particularly for the world's richest person. However, it is very difficult to do. I don't think Elon Musk has really looked into the procedures of creating a political party. Those of us who study such things for decades know that you have to be willing to spend an enormous amount of time and money, do careful planning. Will Elon Musk really stick with it?" What Happens Next Polymarket betting odds currently have a 45 percent chance that Musk will create his new party by December 31 and a 39 percent chance that he will establish the party by the end of the month.

Trump is expected to sign his huge bill of tax and spending cuts at the White House July 4 picnic
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to sign his package of tax breaks and spending cuts into law Friday after his cajoling produced almost unanimous Republican support in Congress for the domestic priority that could cement his second-term legacy. Against odds that at times seemed improbable, Trump achieved his goal of celebrating a historic — and divisive — legislative victory in time for the nation's birthday. Fighter jets and stealth bombers are to streak the sky over the annual White House Fourth of July picnic where Trump plans to sign the bill. The legislation, the president said, is 'going to make this country into a rocket ship. It's going to be really great.' Democrats assailed the package as a giveaway to the rich that will rob millions more lower-income people of their health insurance, food assistance and financial stability. "I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying that this is a crime scene,' Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said during a record-breaking speech that delayed the bill's passage by eight-plus hours. 'It's a crime scene, going after the health, and the safety, and the well-being of the American people.' The legislation extends Trump's 2017 multi-trillion dollar tax cuts and cuts Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion. It provides for a massive increase in immigration enforcement. Congress' nonpartisan scorekeeper projects that nearly 12 million more people will lose health insurance under the law. The legislation passed the House on a largely party-line vote Thursday, culminating a months-long push by the GOP to cram most of its legislative priorities into a single budget bill that could be enacted without Senate Democrats being able to block it indefinitely by filibustering. It passed by a single vote in the Senate, where North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis announced he would not run for reelection after incurring Trump's wrath in opposing it. Vice President JD Vance had to cast the tie-breaking vote. In the House, where two Republicans voted against it, one, conservative maverick Tom Massie of Kentucky, has also become a target of Trump's well-funded political operation. The legislation amounts to a repudiation of the agendas of the past two Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, in rolling back Obama's Medicaid expansion under his signature health law and Biden's tax credits for renewable energy. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the package will add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the decade and 11.8 million more people will go without health coverage. Trump exulted in his political victory Thursday night in Iowa, where he attended a kickoff of events celebrating the country's 250th birthday next year. 'I want to thank Republican congressmen and women, because what they did is incredible,' he said. The president complained that Democrats voted against the bill because 'they hate Trump — but I hate them, too.' The package is certain to be a flashpoint in next year's midterm elections, and Democrats are making ambitious plans for rallies, voter registration drives, attack ads, bus tours and even a multiday vigil, all intended to highlight the most controversial elements. Upon his return to Washington early Friday, Trump described the package as 'very popular,' though polling suggests that public opinion is mixed at best. For example, a Washington Post/Ipsos poll found that majorities of U.S. adults support increasing the annual child tax credit and eliminating taxes on earnings from tips, and about half support work requirements for some adults who receive Medicaid. But the poll found majorities oppose reducing federal funding for food assistance to low-income families and spending about $45 billion to build and maintain migrant detention centers. About 60% said it was 'unacceptable' that the bill is expected to increase the $36 trillion U.S. debt by more than $3 trillion over the next decade.

Speaker Johnson teases more proposed budget legislation after passing One Big Beautiful Bill
House Speaker Mike Johnson is teasing plans to pass two more pieces of budget legislation over the next year in the same way Congress eked through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The Louisiana GOPer — speaking hours after wrangling President Trump's marquee bill through Congress — said Republicans intend to take advantage of their remaining reconciliation bills: special budget-related measures that can bypass a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. 'The reconciliation bill today was a big, giant leap forward. But we're going to do this again. We're gonna have a second reconciliation package in the fall and a third in the spring of next year,' Johnson said on Fox News' 'Ingraham Angle' on Thursday — without going into specifics. Advertisement 3 House Speaker Mike Johnson hasn't delved into specifics of what the next two reconciliation bills will look like. AP 'And we're going to have rescission packages. The White House is sending us collections of items to claw back the spending that was wasted,' he said, referring to legislation that cancels previously authorized spending. 'And we're going to appropriate at lower levels.' During the roughly 29-hour slog to pass the Senate's version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, GOP leadership had privately assured some of the holdouts that there would likely be additional reconciliation bills in the future. Advertisement 3 Republicans barely managed to wrangle the One Big Beautiful Bill Act through Congress this week. GRAEME SLOAN/EPA/Shutterstock But many Republicans were left with the impression that future reconciliation bills will be much smaller in scale and lower stakes than what they barely managed to squeak through Congress this week. 'I bet there will be another reconciliation package. I don't think it'll be as big. I think there'll be some targeted stuff,' Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) told The Post. 'But I think there's a good chance of that.' House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-Md.) added to The Post, 'There's likely to be a second and third reconciliation bill that would not be as significant' as the megabill that passed Thursday. 'Obviously, we may have to clean up some matters.' Advertisement The One Big Beautiful Bill Act — which the presidennt is set to sign into law July 4 — is an 870-page piece of legislation that lays out Trump's signature legislative agenda, including an extension of the 2017 tax cuts, reduced taxes on tips and overtime pay, increased domestic energy production, bolstered border security, ramped up defense spending and spending cuts. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who voted against the initial House version of the megabill in May, claimed that he flipped to vote in favor of it partly due to the promise of a future reconciliation bill. 3 President Trump predicted that Johnson 'will go down as one of the most successful Speakers of the House in history.' Getty Images Over recent years, Republicans and Democrats have leaned on reconciliation to pass partisan legislation that doesn't require votes from the other party to reach the 60-vote threshold to break a Senate filibuster. Advertisement During Trump's first term, Republicans used reconciliation to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Under former President Joe Biden, Democrats used it for the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act. Johnson has publicly speculated that Republicans were crushed in the 2018 midterm elections because they passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 too late for voters to reap the benefits. It cleared Congress in December 2018. That's a big factor in why he pushed to get Trump's signature megabill across the finish line by this Fourth of July. 'We basically enacted in this agenda what we did in the first two years of the [first] Trump administration, but this time, we did it on steroids,' Johnson said. 'We added all sorts of other policies to really fuel the US economy. 'Everyone will be experiencing that before the midterms.' Republicans will face a government shutdown fight next But the next real political headache Johnson is staring down isn't the future reconciliation bills. It's the partial government shutdown that's looming in the fall. Every fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1, Congress has to fund the federal government through the appropriations process, or else its lights go out. Unlike reconciliation, appropriation bills to fund the government need to overcome a 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster in the Senate. Republicans only have a 53-seat majority, which means they'll need to get Democrats on board. Advertisement Fiscal hawks on the Republican side have been keen on maximizing spending cuts, putting leadership in a jam between its hardliners and the need to negotiate with Democrats. Right now, government funding is effectively running on autopilot after Congress barely passed a spending patch in March to avert a partial shutdown.
