Senate Republicans struggle to push Trump’s budget bill over the finish line
The US senators spent more than 24 hours to make changes in the mega-fava on the taxes and expenditures that seemed to have stopped without voting.
The four Republican in the Senate will not support the approximately 1000 -page legislation, as it stops, but the party must only win a senator with a fine control margin.
After the draft has passed the Senate, the Republicans will have to return to the House of Representatives, where he faced another challenging war while checking the room with only a few votes.
President Donald Trump told the Congress that he wanted a legislation on his desk until July 4, and on Tuesday, it would be “very difficult” to meet this deadline.
Republicans seem to have lost the support of four Republicans for now: Collins from Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul from Kentucky.
Since they could only have three defenders, Vice President JD Vance came to Capitol Hill immediately after 6:00 EST (11:00 GMT) to make tie crushing votes.
It helped a change to push a strict margin and is expected to play a key role in the fate of the bill.
The bill of law for Trump’s second term agenda will expand the major tax deductions carried out in the first period of the President.
To compensate for this loss of income, Republicans want to reduce expenditures from various programs, including health care and food subsidies for low -income Americans. However, the Republicans within the Senate do not agree with where these deductions should come from.
Trump previously asked the Congress, under the control of the Republic, to send him a final version of the bill to sign the law until Friday.
However, after more than 24 hours of discussion about the changes made to the bill, which is called a vote determined according to the bill, he softened his tone on the last date of July 4, which underlined the open sections on the bill.
Trump told reporters when leaving the White House, “I would love to do it on July 4, but I think it’s hard to do it on July 4 … I can say maybe on July 4 or somewhere there.” He said.
In May, the House of Representatives passed a budget invoice version with a single vote. When the legislation came to the Senate, the Republicans made many changes.
When the bill crosses the Senate, the Republicans will have to return to the House of Representatives for another vote where another hill up the war is expected.
The democrats in both rooms do not support the bill and tried to throw some obstacles on the way to the transition in the Senate.
