US EditionTrump Presses Senate to Quickly Deliver Budget Bill
UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – The bill includes $5 trillion in debt ceiling increases, major Medicaid cuts, and tax breaks favoring corporations amid strong bipartisan opposition and public protests, the Congressional Budget Office said.
- Following over 21 hours of Senate votes and division, Trump promotes the bill with a 'silly little cartoon' of him at McDonald's, sparking public mockery.
- Amid GOP divisions, Senate Leader Thune struggles to unify senators as Trump pressures holdouts with unconventional promotion, including a cartoon ad.
- Senators Rand Paul and Thom Tillis oppose the bill, with Susan Collins leaning no; CBO estimates nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts, leaving eight GOP holdouts.
- In late June, the Senate advanced the bill 51-49, with the CBO estimating it would leave 11.8 million Americans uninsured, highlighting its significant health impact.
- If the Senate passes the bill, it moves to the House for another vote before the July deadline, risking a default if no agreement is reached, as the Treasury nears borrowing limits.
