MINNESOTA, JUL 16 – Senator Tina Smith missed a key Senate vote on a $9 billion rescissions bill after hospitalization and overnight observation at GW hospital, officials said.

- Sen. Smith’s staff posted that the Capitol doctor recommended follow-up examination, supporting her decision to undergo further assessment at GW hospital.
- The shift reduces the need for Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote, as Republicans in the Senate now hold a temporary seven-vote edge.
- Her team said she’s on track to be back quickly, while Sen. Smith’s office noted she expects to return soon, following her hospitalization and observation.
- Her term ends in January 2027, and she announced earlier this year she would not seek reelection in 2026.
