US EditionSenate to begin marathon vote series on Trump's "big, beautiful bill" as GOP eyes July 4 deadline
- On June 25, 2025, U.S. senators began a marathon vote series called a vote-a-rama on President Donald Trump's 940-page budget bill in Washington, D.C.
- This vote-a-rama follows tense weekend negotiations to pass Trump's second-term domestic priorities amid opposition from some Republicans and Democrats.
- The bill proposes approximately $4 trillion in tax reductions, allocates $350 billion toward border and national security measures, enforces $1.2 trillion in cuts mainly affecting Medicaid and food assistance programs, and encounters opposition due to provisions such as work requirements for Medicaid recipients.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill would add approximately $3.3 trillion to the deficit over ten years and result in 11.8 million additional Americans lacking health insurance by 2034.
- Republicans aim to meet a self-imposed July 4 deadline to pass the bill, but the outcome remains uncertain due to internal opposition and the need for House approval.
