The Big Beautiful Bill passes the Senate

Senate Republicans have narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts bill after a tense overnight session. Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie Tuesday to secure the win. The bill, a key legislative priority for Trump, now returns to the House, where changes made in the Senate, particularly to Medicaid, could spark further challenges. The marathon session featured intense negotiations and over 24 hours of voting on amendments. Republicans face pressure to finalize the package before Trump’s July 4 deadline, with several GOP senators expressing cautious optimism about its future.
