House Republican demands Trump serve a third term after delivering a huge win
Trump is on a roll. And some people think it warrants drastic changes.
Now a House Republican demanded Trump serve a third term after delivering a huge win.
Trump Ally Pushes for Third Term and Mount Rushmore Honor
Representative Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, called for the Republican leader to be eligible for a third presidential term and proposed adding his likeness to Mount Rushmore alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Speaking to Fox News Digital after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Ogles said, “I was at the White House with President Trump for several hours yesterday and spent countless hours whipping votes with Speaker Johnson for the One Big Beautiful Bill. This historic legislation will unleash our economy and usher in a new golden age for America.”
He credited Trump’s leadership, stating, “Thanks to President Trump, we’re finally reversing the damage caused by Big Government and Democrat cronies. Wins like this are exactly why he deserves serious consideration for a third term—AND why so many believe he belongs on Mt. Rushmore.” Ogles’ remarks highlight the deep loyalty among some Republicans to Trump’s agenda.
Marathon Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sprawling 900-page legislative package advancing Trump’s priorities on taxes, immigration, defense, energy, and the national debt, narrowly passed the House on Thursday, July 3, 2025, after an intense marathon session.
The process began with a House Rules Committee meeting at 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, extending nearly 12 hours into Wednesday morning.
Debate resumed at 9 a.m. Wednesday but faced delays as House GOP leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump himself, worked behind closed doors to persuade skeptical Republicans.
Ogles played a visible role, engaging with holdouts and leadership during negotiations.
The bill’s passage marks a significant victory for Trump, reflecting his influence in rallying the GOP’s slim majority to push through a complex and divisive legislative package.
Bill Provisions and Partisan Divide
The legislation permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s lowered income tax brackets, introduces temporary deductions eliminating taxes on tipped and overtime wages up to certain limits, and adds a new tax deduction for Americans over 65.
It also eliminates green energy tax credits from Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which Republicans have criticized as the “Green New Scam.”
The bill allocates increased funding to national defense and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to support Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, alongside raising the debt limit by $5 trillion to prevent a potential credit default this summer.
New work requirements for Medicaid and federal food assistance programs are also included. Democrats have criticized the bill as favoring wealthy taxpayers while reducing benefits for working-class families, highlighting a sharp partisan divide over its economic and social impacts.
