President Donald Trump signed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law Friday, triggering a countdown to cuts that will impact many Maryland residents in the coming years. Republicans passed the legislation Thursday after Congress pulled two all-nighters to meet Trump’s self-imposed July 4 deadline.

From the Central Valley of California to Midwestern battlegrounds and suburban districts of the northeast, the new law already is shaping the 2026 midterm battle for control of the House of Representatives. The outcome will set the tone for Trump’s final two years in the Oval Office.
