Senate Deeply Divided Over Trump's Major Bill

News summary

President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' narrowly passed by the House, is now under intense debate in the Senate, where moderate and conservative Republicans are divided over Medicaid cuts, renewable energy subsidy rollbacks, and deficit concerns. The bill seeks to make Trump-era tax cuts permanent, enforce strict Medicaid work requirements, increase border security funding, and codify several Trump executive orders—including those on abortion and military defense—into law. The Congressional Budget Office now estimates the bill would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over ten years. Senate Republicans are expected to rewrite the bill, potentially delaying passage until July, with any Senate changes requiring another House vote due to the GOP's slim majority. House leaders hope quick passage will bolster their midterm prospects and preempt Democratic impeachment efforts. The bill's fate remains uncertain as key senators like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski demand significant changes before offering their support.
