Senate Republicans Pass Trump’s $5T 'Big Beautiful Bill' with Tie-Breaking VP Vote

News summary

President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping tax and spending package, narrowly passed the Senate with a 51-50 vote, requiring Vice President J.D. Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote. The bill maintains Trump's 2017 tax cuts, raises the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion, cuts Medicaid benefits, and increases funding for border enforcement and immigration deportations. While Senate Republicans like Sens. Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall praised the bill as an economic boost and a legacy achievement for Trump, several Republicans including Sens. Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul opposed it over concerns about Medicaid cuts, insufficient spending reductions, and the impact on the national debt. Democrats uniformly opposed the bill, with leaders such as Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim warning of widespread harm to seniors, low-income families, and small businesses, and criticizing the rushed legislative process. The bill now returns to the House for approval, with GOP leaders aiming for passage before July 4 amid concerns over its potential effects and political ramifications.
