WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican senators pushed a $340 billion budget framework to passage over Democratic objections after a nearly all-night vote. The early Friday vote was a key step toward providing money the Trump administration says it needs funds for mass deportations and security measures that top the Republican agenda. Senators chugged through the “vote-a-rama” considering dozens of amendments before the package was approved on a largely party-line vote. But it still needs to be merged with one from the House. House Republicans are preparing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” that includes some $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and up to $2 trillion less spending. With Republicans in control of Congress, they are using the budget process to advance Trump’s agenda.
