US EditionGOP leader sets Saturday vote on Trump ‘big, beautiful bill’ despite Republican pushback
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune set a key vote on President Donald Trump's 'One, Big Beautiful Bill' for noon on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
- The vote depends on resolving disputes over provisions ruled out by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who rejected several elements as violating budget rules.
- Republicans face holdouts within their ranks, including concerns about Medicaid funding, provider taxes, and tax deduction limits, while Democrats uniformly oppose the bill.
- Polling shows under 30% public support, and Trump said Democrats oppose it because ‘politically it’s so good for the Republicans’ and claimed, ‘it’s a great bill, it’s a popular bill.’
- If the Senate approves the bill, any discrepancies with the House version must be resolved prior to forwarding it to Trump, although Speaker Mike Johnson indicated the July 4 deadline for completion might be delayed.
