US EditionUS Senate Republicans advance Trump bill toward passage
- On June 28, 2025, the Republican-controlled US Senate narrowly voted 51-49 to advance President Donald Trump's 940-page tax-cut and spending bill in Washington, D.C.
- The bill aims to raise the federal borrowing limit by $5 trillion and extend about $3.8 trillion in Trump-era tax breaks despite opposition from Senators Rand Paul and Thom Tillis over Medicaid cuts.
- Republican leaders used a legislative maneuver to bypass the 60-vote Senate threshold, while delays occurred due to Democratic demands to read the bill aloud and internal GOP disagreements.
- Elon Musk harshly condemned the legislation, claiming it would lead to the loss of millions of jobs and severely damage key future industries, while the White House reaffirmed its strong endorsement of the bill’s main provisions.
- Should the Senate approve the legislation, it must then go back to the House for a final vote before President Trump can sign it into law, with prolonged debates anticipated and Democrats largely united in opposition.
