Senate passes Trump’s sweeping ‘big beautiful’ agenda bill, sending it to the House
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate narrowly approved a major tax and spending package championed by President Donald Trump, with Vice President JD Vance casting the decisive 51st vote to break the tie.
- The bill followed intense party disputes over Medicaid cuts, deficit increases, and tax provisions, requiring House-Senate reconciliation before final approval.
- Key provisions include $1.3 trillion in social safety net cuts, $153 billion for the military, $46.5 billion for border wall construction, and new tax breaks mainly benefiting wealthy households.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Medicaid and SNAP cuts could cause nearly 12 million Americans to lose health coverage or food assistance, and the federal deficit would rise by $3.8 trillion.
- President Trump aims to sign the legislation by Independence Day despite opposition within his party and ongoing legislative negotiations, signaling a shift in domestic policy and spending.
