Senate Republicans narrowly pass Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ spending bill

BBC News

After hours of dilemma, the Republicans in the US Senate passed Donald Trump’s mega-cavity narrowly with taxes and expenditures, so the proposed legislation cleared one of the lock barriers.
A Big Beautiful invoice law passed with Vice President JD Vance by giving a tie -breaking vote after a discussion for more than 24 hours.
Now he’s going home or he’s still going to the lower room he’s faced with more opposition. A previous version was cleaned by the Republicans with a single voting margin.
Trump gave a deadline dated 4 July to the Congress under the control of the Republic.
However, disagreements on open, social programs and expenditure levels could create delays, and the President would be “very difficult” on Tuesday morning.
Despite his efforts to galvanize his party, the senate majority leader John Thune lost three Republicans – Susan Collins from Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul from Kentucky. Collins, Tillis and Paul participated in all democrats while voting against the bill.
The Republican leadership was able to convince Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Senator, who had previously expressed suspicions about the legislation, to support the bill.
This made the last Senate vote 50-50 and encouraged Vance to vote for a tie.
The draft law, which was considered as the cornerstone of Trump’s second term agenda, would make permanent major tax cuts temporarily put forward when it was in the first position.
In order to compensate for the expected loss of income, Republicans tried to reduce expenditures in a wide range of programs, including food subsidies and health services for low -income Americans.
The vote arrived on Tuesday morning and the hurricane voting session at Capitol Hill.
The Democrats tried to stretch their muscles by putting procedural obstacles against the bill to delay their transition.
This required the senate clerk to read all of the 940 pages of the bill out loud and to initiate a long discussion process on the proposed changes in what is called “Rama”.
Before the President signed the draft into the law, the Republicans’ House was left to approve the changes made by the Senate.
However, his fate remains uncertain because he opposes different angles.
A group of Financial Conservative Sahin pointed out their unhappiness about how much the Senate proposal can contribute to the US national deficit – this expresses the difference between what the government spends and what it increases every year.
According to the right wing Freedom Caucus, the Senate can add $ 650 billion (£ 472 billion) exposure each year. “This is not financial responsibility,” Caucus members said on a social media broadcast on Monday. “This is not what we accept.”
In the meantime, other Parliament Republicans are worried that the Senate legislation will make more upright cuts for low -income Americans in the Medicaid Health Insurance program.
Democrats in both rooms of the Congress also criticized the proposed welfare cuts.
Republicans in the House of Representatives will work against a deadline paid from the President of 4 July.
“I would love to do it on July 4, but I think it is very difficult to do on July 4 … Maybe on July 4 or somewhere there.” He said.
Other critics of the plans include Technology Billionaire Elon Musk, who helped Trump won the White House last year and served as Trump’s cost -down tsar.
Musk is now trying to break the chances of survival for Trump’s signature legislation and threatened to establish a new political party if he cleaned the bill.
On Monday, he threatened to support the rivals to the Republicans who voted.
He said: “Every congress member who campaigns to reduce government expenditures and then voted for the biggest increase in debt in history should embarrass their heads!” He wrote about Musk X.
The draft’s serious discounts on state support for renewable energy and electric vehicles may damage profitability for a company made by Tesla, a part of Musk’s reserve.
