U.S. Senate Narrowly Approves Sweeping Tax and Spending Bill
In a nail-biter vote, the U.S. Senate passed former President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax-and-spending bill early Tuesday, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the 50-50 tie. The legislation, dubbed 'big and beautiful' by Trump, aims to slash taxes, boost military and immigration enforcement funding, and trim social safety net programs—all while adding trillions to the national debt. 💥
Key Details:
• The bill passed 51-50, with three GOP senators—Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul—voting against it. • It now heads to the House, where Republicans hold a slim 220-212 majority. Some House members have already criticized the Senate’s provisions. • Trump hopes to sign it into law by July 4, but hurdles remain. 🏛️
Why It Matters:
This bill could reshape U.S. economic policy for years, affecting everything from healthcare to defense. Critics warn about soaring debt, while supporters argue it’ll stimulate growth. Stay tuned as the House debate heats up! 🔥
