6 Senate Republicans who could hold up Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
- As of June 2025, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, is spearheading the push for a major legislative package under the budget reconciliation process.
- The bill addresses the need to prolong the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts for an additional decade and increase the borrowing limit by four trillion dollars, employing a disputed accounting approach.
- The method treats tax cut extensions as continuation of current law, theoretically zeroing their cost and allowing $1.5 trillion extra spending.

- Multiple House and Senate Republicans oppose the bill if it uses this accounting baseline or lacks additional spending cuts, reflecting strong divisions ahead of Senate vote.
