Moments after hanging up with President Donald Trump, U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Scott Hennen on AM 1090 KTGO Radio for an exclusive interview, detailing the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” and the recent U.S. military strike on Iran.
The interview offered a front-row seat to Washington’s high-stakes debate, and highlighting North Dakota’s influence as Trump’s July 4th deadline for the president’s signature legislation looms.
Cramer, a loyal Trump ally, revealed the president’s deep involvement in the Big Beautiful Bill, a sprawling package aimed at slashing taxes, funding immigration enforcement, and cutting federal spending.
The bill has divided Senate Republicans, with some wary of proposed benefit cuts, while others push for aggressive fiscal restraint.
The bill, at press time, had cleared a procedural vote in the Senate, but not full passage. If approval comes, it would then need to pass a majority vote in the House before it would head to Trump’s desk.
The legislation would extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Trump signed into law in his first term. It would also eliminate a large swath of taxes on tips and overtime pay. Democrats have railed against the bill, calling it a tax cut for the wealthy, at the expense of federal programs that serve working-class people.
