After months of debate, weeks of tense negotiations and 24 hours of Republican arm-twisting, President Trump has muscled his giant domestic-policy bill through both chambers of Congress.

It’s a major legislative victory for the president that paves the way for much of his second-term agenda, and it will have profound impacts across the country.

The Times journalists Tony Romm, Andrew Duehren and Margot Sanger-Katz discuss what the legislation changes, and those whose lives it will change the most.

Guest:

• Tony Romm, a reporter covering economic policy and the Trump administration for The New York Times, based in Washington.
• Andrew Duehren, who writes about tax policy for The New York Times from Washington.
• Margot Sanger-Katz, a reporter for The New York Times who covers health care policy and government spending.

Background reading: 

• Trump’s policy bill cleared Congress after House Republicans quelled revolt from some of their members.
• Our reporters answered nine questions about the bill, including who benefits and who gets hurt.
• See how the bill could affect your taxes, health care and other finances.
