US EditionSenate to begin marathon vote series on Trump's "big, beautiful bill" as GOP eyes July 4 deadline
- The Senate began a marathon voting process on Monday for President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' aiming to meet a July 4 spending deadline.
- This bill combines large tax cuts, border security spending, and social safety net reductions amid partisan disputes and a nearly 1,000-page package.
- Senators can propose unlimited amendments in a 'vote-a-rama' that may last over eight hours with many amendments signaling political stances rather than passing.
- Senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul voted against advancing the bill, with Tillis citing Medicaid concerns and announcing he will not seek reelection in 2026.
- The process faces challenges including vocal Democratic opposition, a narrow GOP majority needing near-perfect unity, and a Congressional Budget Office estimate of a $3 trillion deficit increase.
