US EditionHouse to Vote on Senate Version of Trump's Bill Amid GOP Division
- The U.S. Senate approved its version of Trump's multitrillion-dollar tax and spending package Tuesday by a 51-50 margin, with Vice President J.D. Vance stepping in to break the tie.
- The bill's passage followed a marathon Senate session marked by opposition from three Republicans who objected mainly to Medicaid cuts and deficit increases, while House Democrats prepared to debate its effects.
- The legislation includes expanded tax deductions for tips and overtime, increased military spending, cuts to green energy subsidies, and work requirements for Medicaid recipients, but it also raises the federal deficit significantly more than the House version.
- President Trump called it the "big, beautiful bill" promising "something for everyone," while Democrats like Chuck Schumer criticized it for harming health care and low-income families, urging the House to reject it.
- The bill now returns to the House for a final vote, where divisions among Republicans and objections over spending may challenge its approval before it can be sent to Trump for signature.
