US EditionThune: Senate to remain in Washington until tax package is passed
- Senators returned to Washington, D.C., on June 24, 2025, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune vowed they would remain until passing President Trump's tax-and-spending bill.
- Lawmakers face a self-imposed July 4 deadline to pass the bill largely based on Trump’s campaign promises and GOP senators’ commitments to voters amid mounting fiscal and security pressures.
- Thune remains optimistic that the Senate will approve the package, which emphasizes border security, defense, tax reductions, and Medicaid, though some Republican members express concerns about the potential increase in the national debt.
- Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the White House, emphasized the urgency for the Senate to approve this landmark bill by July 4th, while opponents such as Sen. Ron Johnson caution that it would significantly increase the national deficit.
- The bill’s urgency reflects border resource depletion and ICE’s $1 billion budget overrun driven by demands to arrest 3,000 immigrants daily, underscoring fiscal and political stakes before the July 4 deadline.
