The US Senate is continuing its session discussing President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which has become a key part of his second-term plans.
What Happened In The Senate?
US President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' narrowly passed a key Senate vote with a result of 51 to 49 last week. Additional voting is expected today, and the bill has not yet passed. Two Republican senators have expressed concerns about cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs, joining Democrats in opposition.
Why Does Trump Want It Passed Before July 4th?
'Big Beautiful Bill' is a $2.1 trillion package which includes significant tax cuts, increased funding for border security and the military, and reductions in social programs like Medicaid and food stamps. Supporters claim it will create jobs and enhance national security. Trump refers to it as 'the most beautiful bill ever written' and desires it signed before Independence Day.
What Happens Next?
If the Senate passes the bill, it will return to the House of Representatives for final approval due to the changes made. Only after both chambers agree can the bill be sent to President Trump for signing into law.
The Senate's decision on the 'Big Beautiful Bill' is expected to significantly impact the political landscape in the country, especially with upcoming elections.
