Senate narrowly passes Trump’s megabill after overnight voting session

Senate Republicans narrowly passed President Donald Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts bill on Tuesday, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. The bill passed 50-50, with three Republican senators joining all Democrats in voting against it. The package now goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. The Senate made changes to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump's Fourth of July deadline. The outcome is a pivotal moment for Trump and his party, which have invested their political capital in delivering on the GOP's sweep of power in Washington. Trump acknowledged that the bill is "very complicated stuff" and expressed concerns about cuts. The bill's passage was a result of a turbulent overnight session, with Republican leaders desperately reaching for last-minute agreements between party members. The bill includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $1.2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, among other provisions. Democrats fought against the bill, citing concerns about its impact on healthcare and the deficit. An analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that the bill would increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion over the decade.
