US EditionGOP Sen. Schmitt: Big, Beautiful Bill Will Pass the Senate — 'We Feel Pretty Positive About It'
- Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri said the Senate is likely to pass President Trump's reconciliation bill following its narrow House approval last week.
- The bill, described by Trump as a "big, beautiful bill," includes permanent middle-class tax cuts and border funding, and the Senate plans to make changes while aiming to find more savings.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune set July 4 as the goal for completing the bill, with 53 Republican senators expected to work on revisions throughout June amid skepticism about Democratic support.
- Schmitt stated, "time is of the essence," insisted on no debt ceiling increase, and said he might support the bill if that provision is removed, while Senators Cruz and Paul signaled significant changes and opposition due to debt concerns.
- If passed with at least 51 votes, the legislation would reach Trump's desk as a major Republican achievement, advancing his campaign promises and policies to replace Biden administration measures.
