This afternoon, the American Senate remains locked in a marathon voting session on the “Big Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump, a legislative package of almost 1,000 pages which constitutes the key element of Trump’s plans in the second term.
But, the big question in everyone’s mind today is: has the Senate adopted the major bill?
What happened to the Senate?
The “Big Beautiful Bill” by US President Donald Trump, who barely adopted the Senate’s key vote with 51 to 49 last week. While the bill is now heading for its next series of votes, all eyes in today’s Senate season.
The Senate, which currently has 52 Republicans and 48 Democrats, a debate of the bill for several days. So far, the bill has not been adopted. Two Republican senators have expressed concerns about the cups of Medicaid and Nutrition programs, joining all the Democrats to oppose the bill in its current form.
Meanwhile, the head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, said that the Chamber was “close” to a final vote, but that the legislators are still negotiating certain changes. The vote was to occur before July 4.
Why does Trump want him to go before July 4?
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a 2.1 -dollars’ package. It includes major tax reductions, more money for border security and soldiers, and social programs like Medicaid and food coupons.
Supporters, mainly Republicans, say that the bill will create jobs, will strengthen national security and give people more money. Trump called it “the most beautiful bill never written” and wishes to be signed before July 4.
But the Democrats say that the bill is too risky. He would add 3.3 billions of dollars to the national deficit over the next ten years. Although it gives $ 1.2 billion of tax discounts, mainly for high -income families, it also reduces $ 200 billion in important programs like Medicaid and food aid.
What happens next?
If the Senate adopts the bill, it will return to the House of Representatives for final approval, because the Senate has made changes to the initial bill. It is only after the two chambers agree that the bill can be sent to President Trump to be promulgated.
