Man Arrested After Disrupting Senate Debate on Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”
Capitol Police have arrested a man who disrupted a Senate debate on President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” shouting at lawmakers before being removed from the chamber.
According to authorities, the man entered the gallery during the debate on the comprehensive tax and spending bill and began yelling, “You people are awful!” and other statements criticizing the bill and lawmakers. The debate had been focused on the bill’s proposed tax cuts and domestic manufacturing incentives, which Trump has described as a major economic driver for American families.
Capitol Police quickly intervened, escorting the man from the gallery as senators briefly paused proceedings. The individual’s identity has not been publicly released, and it is unclear if formal charges have been filed, but Capitol Police stated the man was arrested for disrupting Congress.
Witnesses said the man appeared agitated and accused lawmakers of ignoring ordinary Americans while passing legislation favoring “big donors and party insiders.” The incident was quickly contained, and Senate debate resumed within minutes.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” includes provisions for vehicle loan interest deductions, extended tax cuts, and retirement benefits aimed at appealing to working- and middle-class voters ahead of the November elections.
The incident highlights continued tensions on Capitol Hill as lawmakers debate key spending and tax initiatives during a volatile election season.
