US EditionTrump spending bill faces opposition from some Republican senators
- President Donald Trump is urging the Senate to pass his over 1,000-page spending and tax bill by July 4, aiming for swift enactment in Washington.
- The bill extends 2017 tax cuts worth over $4.5 trillion and includes spending cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and green energy to offset costs amid opposition from Democrats and some GOP senators.
- Senate Republicans, including John Thune and others like Hawley, Collins, and Murkowski, voice worries over Medicaid changes and possible reductions to Trump’s new tax break proposals on tips, automobile loans, and overtime pay.
- Billionaire Elon Musk denounced the bill as a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled” and “disgusting abomination,” while Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called it “ugly to its very core,” warning it would harm Americans.
- The legislation faces a difficult path with thin GOP margins, expected analyses from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, and looming mid-July deadlines to lift the $36 trillion debt ceiling to avoid a default.
