US EditionSenate Republicans Push for Major Amendments to Trump's Tax and Spending Bill
- Senate Republicans are preparing major changes to President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill that narrowly passed the House on May 24, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

- With 53 Republican senators and a July 4 deadline to prevent a possible debt default, the Senate must negotiate changes and secure final approval for Trump’s signature.
