GOP leader sets Saturday vote on Trump ‘big, beautiful bill’ despite Republican pushback
UNITED STATES, JUN 27 – The bill includes $4 trillion in tax cuts, border security funding, and Medicaid reforms, with Senate Republicans pushing for a vote Saturday to meet the July 4 signing deadline, officials said.
- Senate Republicans plan a scheduled noon procedural vote Saturday to advance Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' through debate.
- Self-Imposed July 4 deadline is forcing Senate Republicans to rush the reconciliation process while awaiting rulings from Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Medicaid and policy baselines.
- Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough struck down hundreds of billions in provisions, with the bill spanning ten Senate committees and the CBO projecting a $3 trillion deficit over a decade.
- The Senate faces at least 10 hours of debate and a 'vote-a-rama' as Democrats plan to use their full time to oppose the bill, delaying final passage.
- If passed, the bill would make 2017 tax cuts permanent, modernize air traffic control, and restrict Medicaid for 1.4 million illegal immigrants, then return to the House for final approval.
