US EditionIs Trump’s ‘Golden Age’ a Bridge Too Far?
UNITED STATES CONGRESS, JUL 2 – The Senate narrowly approved the multitrillion-dollar bill with tax cuts favoring the wealthy and cuts to Medicaid that could strip nearly 12 million people of health insurance, the Congressional Budget Office said.
- On Tuesday night, Senate Republicans rallied behind President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote to send it back to the House.
- The bill's passage was driven by efforts to secure permanent Trump-era tax cuts, fund defense and immigration priorities, and offset costs through cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects a $3.3 trillion deficit increase over a decade; critics warn 17 million could lose coverage, risking nearly 17,000 preventable deaths annually.
- Senate Republicans' swift backing of Trump’s bill, with Vance’s tie-breaking vote, moves it toward House approval before July 4 amid bipartisan criticism over deficits and social cuts.
- More broadly, with razor-thin majorities, Republicans' reliance on economic gains from the bill may determine midterm success, risking electoral fallout if benefits are delayed.
