US EditionUS Senate Republicans advance Trump bill toward passage
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – Senate Republicans advanced a $4 trillion bill extending tax cuts and cutting welfare, with the Congressional Budget Office projecting 11.8 million more uninsured by 2034, amid GOP dissent.
- The Republican-controlled US Senate advanced President Donald Trump's 940-page tax and spending bill during a rare Saturday session on June 28, 2025.
- The bill aims to raise the federal debt limit by $5 trillion and extend $3.8 trillion in Trump-era tax cuts but faced opposition from some Republicans and unified Democratic resistance.
- Senators expected lengthy all-night debates with numerous amendments, including contentious provisions on Medicaid cuts, a $40,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, and $25 billion for rural Medicaid support.
- Critics, including Elon Musk who called the bill 'utterly insane and destructive,' warned it could destroy millions of jobs and harm future industries, while Democrats criticized tax breaks favoring the wealthy over social programs.
- If passed by the Senate, the bill will return to the House for final approval before reaching President Trump for signature amid concerns about the bill's broad impacts and intra-party dissent.
