Debate Continues In The Senate On Trump’s ‘Big’ Bill

June 30, 2025 5:02 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators are hunkering down to consider proposed amendments to President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts. The grind is expected to take all day Monday in what’s called a vote-a-rama and could churn into the night. Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledges final action could slip. The White House says it’s counting on Republican lawmakers to “get the job done.” With Democrats united against the Republican president’s legislation, they are proposing dozens of changes, all likely to fail. Republicans are racing to meet Trump’s Fourth of July deadline to pass the bill. The House is being called back to session for votes as soon as Wednesday, if the Senate can pass the bill.
