Senate Republicans have moved to push forward President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the July 4 deadline approaches. The move comes after hours of tense negotiations and a last-minute overhaul of the legislative package.
The bill was cleared by Senate Republicans with a party-line vote of 51-49, despite some reservations from certain members of the Republican caucus. While a significant milestone for Trump’s administration, the road ahead remains uncertain.
As the clock ticks closer to the July 4 deadline, both chambers will now engage in marathon amendment sessions before a final vote on the bill. The White House has signaled that President Trump is committed to signing the bill, stating “failure to pass this bill would be the ultimate betrayal.”
It appears that Senate Republicans have made concessions to address concerns from some members of their own party, as significant changes were made at the last minute. Despite these efforts, key Republican lawmakers continue to express dissatisfaction with aspects of the bill.
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) has announced her intention to support the bill in its current form but has left open the possibility of reconsidering her stance should further modifications be made.
