June 24 (UPI) -- Complications with the so-called "one big, beautiful" fiscal year 2026 budget bill might keep lawmakers at the Capitol until passing it instead of recessing for Independence Day.
President Donald Trump had announced a July 4th deadline for the budget bill, but Congress is slated for a week-long recess next week, which caused Trump to call on senators to stay at the capital until passing the budget bill.
"To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, [but] don't go home," Trump said Tuesday morning in a Truth Social post, as reported by Roll Call.
"Get the deal done this week," Trump said. "Work with the House so they can pass it immediately. No one goes on vacation until it's done."
