US EditionUS Senate in Final Push to Pass Trump Spending Bill
- On Saturday, June 28, 2025, the U.S. Senate voted 51-49 to procedurally advance President Donald Trump's 940-page tax-cut and spending bill in Washington, D.C.
- The bill aims to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and includes tax, immigration, border, and military spending provisions amid partisan opposition and divisions within the Republican party.
- Proponents argue the bill provides historic tax relief for middle- and working-income families, increasing the average household’s annual take-home pay by more than $10,000, while opponents caution that it reduces Medicaid funding, leads to higher insurance premiums, and could result in nearly 12 million more people lacking health coverage.
- Elon Musk, who previously supported Trump, called the bill a 'disgusting abomination' and 'utterly insane and destructive,' while Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said it raises electricity bills to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
- If the Senate approves the bill—with Republicans able to lose no more than three votes—it will move to the House, potentially leading to significant fiscal and political repercussions, including increasing the national debt by approximately $3.3 trillion.
