Tillis: Senators Should Pass the President’s Agenda
- Senator Thom Tillis urged Republicans to pass President Trump's agenda and extend the 2017 tax cuts before July 4, 2025, emphasizing his party's role.
- The call follows a narrow House vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a tax and immigration package opposed by Democrats and criticized by some Republican senators for insufficient savings.
- The bill includes a $4 trillion debt limit increase, bans local AI regulations for a decade, and avoids taxes on tips, overtime, and car-loan interest, while Senate changes remain possible.
- Tillis emphasized that Republicans need to keep the Trump-era tax cuts in place and advance the president’s policy goals, while noting that Democrats prefer allowing those tax cuts to expire; however, the likelihood of extending them remains low.
- The situation implies heightened Senate negotiations ahead of an August debt deadline, with every senator's vote critical given the slim Republican majority and internal disagreements.
