The massive tax and budget bill President Trump signed into law this month could prove a major challenge for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections — but probably not in the places that will be hurt the most by it.

Protestors gathered at the Gaston County Courthouse Monday morning to protest the passing of President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

U.S. President Trump's "One, Big Beautiful Bill Act," H.R. 1 includes $1 billion for the U.S. Space Force (USSF) X-37B military spacecraft program.
