US Senate Begins Nail-Biting Vote on Trump Spending Bill
- The US Senate began a critical vote on June 30, 2025, on President Trump's $3.9 trillion tax and spending bill known as the 'big, beautiful bill'.
- The bill aims to raise the US debt ceiling by $5 trillion, make the $2,000 child tax credit permanent, and expand funding for immigration enforcement amid recent protests.
- Opponents, including hospital groups and senators Thom Tillis and Mark Warner, warn the bill's Medicaid cuts threaten care for millions and could force rural hospital closures.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects 11.8 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage over time if the Senate package becomes law, intensifying concerns.
- The vote's outcome will influence healthcare access, immigration policy, and the national debt trajectory, with President Trump urging passage before the July 4 holiday.
