Top White House officials are set to fan out across the nation to tout key aspects of the “big, beautiful bill,” President Donald Trump‘s signature domestic policy legislation.
Nine Cabinet secretaries will champion the legislation during future events in the coming weeks, a White House official told the Washington Examiner. Vice President JD Vance has already begun appearances touting the bill to the American public and is set to visit another state this week, according to his office.
“Vice President Vance will visit Indianapolis on Thursday, where he will be headlining an RNC fundraiser. He will also meet with Governor Braun and other state officials to discuss a variety of issues,” said William Martin, communications director for Vance.
The other secretaries that will travel soon include Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, HUD Secretary Scott Turner, and Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler.
The secretaries will appear in key battleground states that will help determine control of Congress in 2026 and the presidency in 2028.
Loeffler is expected to appear in Lansing, Michigan, with swing-district GOP Rep. Tom Barrett, while Chavez-DeRemer will visit Nevada, where she will champion the no tax on tips provision of the bill, as well as in Michigan. Both states will have key gubernatorial races, with Michigan also home to an important Senate race.
The travel plans indicate the White House’s determination to win over voters who have been skeptical of how the bill will impact their access to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Quinnipiac polling from late June showed that 55% of participants opposed the bill, while 29% supported it, with 16% not offering an opinion. A mid-July CNN poll showed roughly 6 in 10 Americans opposed the bill as well. Surveys also show that voters see the bill as giving the wealthy an advantage at the expense of the working class. Nearly 70% of poll respondents said the law would help the wealthy, while just 7% said that group would be hurt, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll.
Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) was booed during a Monday town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska, after he claimed that his vote to cut SNAP programs was because the U.S. doesn’t have “unlimited money.” Other Republicans have also been met with a hostile reaction from constituents angry over the bill. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) blamed Democrats over the viral videos of attendees loudly jeering and chanting at him at town halls.

Democrats are banking that anger over the bill will help propel the party to retake the House from GOP control. Their chances of retaking the Senate face higher odds.
Democrats slammed Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) over her “we are all going to die” comments during a town hall on the legislation. Ernst, who is running for reelection, will appear with Zeldin and Loeffler at a future event.
