Senate Advances Big Beautiful Bill in Dramatic Saturday Night Vote
The Senate voted to carry out the big and beautiful bill of President Donald Trump in a rare Saturday evening vote filled with drama.
The voting of the key procedure on the motion of procedure is an important victory for the president and the head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune (R-SD) and opens the way so that the modification votes begin, probably late Monday evening.
The bill contains many key promises of Trump’s campaign and deals with immigration and borders security, energy, national security and defense, and taxes – extending in particular the major part of Trump tax reductions in 2017 and not establishing any tax on advice and overtime.
The vote was 51 to 49 years. Vice-president JD Vance conducted negotiations with the head of the majority of the Senate John Thune (R-SD) and a handful of conservatives.
Vance arrived at the Capitol with the expectation that his vote would be necessary. Although his vote was unnecessary, his role in negotiations on behalf of the White House allowed the bill.
The bill on budget reconciliation requires a majority to advance, bypassing the 60 voting of the Senate for the most part
Two Republican senators voted with the 47 Democrats against the future.
Senator Thom Tillis (R -R -NC) voted against the future for the concerns about the impact of medicadid provisions of the rural hospitals bill – says that Breitbart News reported was pushed by groups based on discussion of radical groups.
The opposition to the Tillis bill, which has often rejected Trump’s America’s agenda, pushed Trump to ask for a main challenge in Tillis through a social post – even before the vote was closed.
Sense. Rand Paul (R-KY) also voted against the procedure in the bill on concerns that the bill does not reduce enough compulsory expenses. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) voted no before changing and voting yes with a trio of retained.
Thune and Vance conquered the group of Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rick Scott (R-FL) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), as well as Johnson, who met in Thune’s office for more than an hour before voting to continue the bill.
We do not know what, if necessary, the concessions they received for their votes.
Other challenges await us. At least a handful of senators, including senator Susan Collins (R-ME), voted to continue the bill despite additional changes before supporting adoption. Senator Lisa Murkows (R-AK), who received a handful of sculptures for Alaska in the text of the bill published late Friday evening, voted to proceed after long conversations on the prosecution with managers of the Senate.
The coming way, which should include the high -level horse trade and a vote overnight, a Rama, will test the patience of the senators who are tired of the negotiations of several weeks – and one of each other.
The rules of the Senate require twelve hours of debate before switching to votes on changes and final adoption. But first, the chief of the minority Chuck Schumer (D -NY) will oblige the clerk in the Senate to read the entire bill – a delay tactic which could take up to 3 p.m. or more.
The Senate will most likely start to vote on Monday evening, with a final adoption vote, perhaps perhaps on Monday morning.
If the Senate can adopt the bill on this calendar and send it to the House, this room is unlikely to vote before Thursday, with the deadline of July 4 of Trump on Friday. The Republican leaders of the Chamber wishing to seal the agreement held a conference in scale on Saturday afternoon encouraging members to submit concerns concerning the bill instead of disseminating them on social networks.
The transition from independence day could give the master marketing trump an additional party flair for a signature ceremony of the oval office bill. But no matter how much the bill is finally adopted – what most predictions predict is quasi -inevitability – the big and beautiful bill will issue the president with a signature victory in the second mandate. And the Republicans will have their flagship realization for voters in the mid-term elections.
But first, there are Senate sausages to do. And you can bet that Trump will watch closely.
