US EditionSenate to begin marathon vote series on Trump's "big, beautiful bill" as GOP eyes July 4 deadline
- Senate Republicans are working quickly to approve a comprehensive tax and spending bill before the July 4 deadline set by President Trump.
- The bill faces opposition due to its proposed $1.2 trillion in cuts, mainly targeting Medicaid and food stamps, with some GOP senators concerned.
- Senate Democrats forced a full 16-hour reading of the 940-page bill to delay voting and highlight cuts to Medicaid and public assistance programs.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill will add almost $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years and make permanent the tax rates established during Trump's 2017 administration.
- The Senate's slim GOP majority and internal dissent, including Sen. Tillis not seeking reelection over Medicaid cuts, leave the bill's final passage uncertain.
