The sources show that Trump Accounts were created by the Working Families Tax Cuts law (H.R. 1), and that every Senate Democrat voted against that law in Roll Call #372 on 7/1/25.

What we found

Supports. The Senate Republican Leader's research page states that every Senate Democrat voted against the Working Families Tax Cuts law (H.R. 1, Roll Call #372, 7/1/25), which it says is the law that created Trump Accounts.[2]

Supports. Senate Majority Whip Barrasso states that Trump Accounts were created by Republicans through the Working Families Tax Cuts law and that every Democrat in the chamber voted against those tax cuts; the source is a partisan statement, so it is corroborative rather than independent.[3]

Supports. Speaker Johnson's office and the RSC both state that Congressional Democrats unanimously opposed the Working Families Tax Cuts, which included investment accounts for newborns, and the RSC says the law established Trump Accounts.[4][5][6]

Supports. FactCheck.org confirms that Trump Accounts are new federal investment and savings accounts for children established as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and that Democrats opposed that law.[1]

Context. The Fox News item on a House vote concerns a separate package combining a stock trading ban and voter ID rules, so it is not relevant to the Trump Accounts vote.[7]

Context. The claim tracks the claimant's passage closely; the extraction does not widen scope beyond what the sources describe, though the vote was on the broader tax law rather than on the accounts alone.
