The Senate has just passed a controversial bill that represents one of President Trump’s main objectives. The vote was incredibly close, at 51 to 50. Vice President JD Vance had to step in to break the tie after three Republican senators—Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul—voted against it.
This bill is set to make drastic changes, including slashing taxes and cutting crucial social safety net programs. It came after 24 hours of heated debates and last-minute negotiations among Republicans, who are now balancing party solidarity with the potential risks of these decisions.
Economic experts warn that the bill could add over $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, jeopardizing the country's fiscal health. This legislation extends tax cuts from 2017 and allocates billions for border security and military funding, but it also poses financial threats to millions of low-income Americans who may see reductions in health insurance and federal assistance.
As the House prepares for a vote on a bill that can only lose three Republican votes, the political landscape remains tense.
