Odaily News Republicans in the U.S. Congress chose to stand on Trump's side in the public dispute between Trump and Musk, which was seen as an optimistic signal that the tax reform bill will eventually pass smoothly. Most lawmakers followed Trump's instructions and firmly supported the $3 trillion bill. Musk had previously threatened to provide primary election assistance to any congressional candidate who voted against the bill, but lawmakers believed that maintaining a good relationship with the president was a safer choice for political survival. House Speaker Johnson said: "The tax reform bill is not in danger, and we will definitely pass it... I tell you - don't doubt, don't question, and don't challenge President Donald Trump of the United States. He is the leader of the party and the most influential political figure of our time."
