Senate works all night when GOP tries to cut trades

Endgame was not visible anytime soon. Senate Majority Leader John Tune in South Dakota Working for a last-minute agreement with the people of his party, he is concerned that the reduction in the bill to Medicaid will leave behind millions without paying attention and his most conservative side.

Thune declared at one point that she was at “Homestretch.” He jumps over the Capitol hall and backtracks a little later, suggesting that progress is “elusive.”

at the same time House Speaker Mike Johnson As skeptical lawmakers are being called back to Washington ahead of the July 4 deadline, the Senate package warns that once the Senate package is sent home for the final vote, the Senate package could run into trouble.

It’s a pivotal moment for Republicans who are taking control of Congress and compete to put together their work in a few days to go before Trump’s holiday deadline on Friday. Pages 940 “One Big Beautiful Bill Law” As officially titled, Congress is consuming Congress because it shares priorities with the President.

In a midnight social media post, Trump called the bill “probably the greatest and most important.” Vice President JD Vance summarised his series of posts and begged the senators to “pass the bill.”

GOP leaders don’t have the room, and both rooms have a small majority. Thune could lose less than three Republican senators, and could already lose two – Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolinawarns that people will lose access to Medicaid healthcare, and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who opposes raising debt restrictions, has opposed. Tillis suddenly announced over the weekend I don’t seek reelection After Trump threatened a campaign against him.

And on social media, billionaire Elon Musk has once again denounced Republicans as “Porky Pig Party!!” It is necessary to allow ongoing borrowing to pay the bills to include a clause that increases the country’s debt limit by $5 trillion.

New York Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said his side is working to show “how bad this is.”

“Republicans are in a hellish situation because they know that the bill is very unpopular,” Schumer said, walking down the hall.

New analysis from Non-partisan Congressional Budget Bureau If the bill becomes law, it turns out that 11.8 million Americans will be uninsured by 2034. The CBO said the package would increase the deficit nearly $3.3 trillion over the decade.

Senator watching

As the final package emerges in either the House or Senate, few Republicans are completely satisfied.

Tillis said it was a betrayal of the president’s promise not to drive people’s health care, especially if rural hospitals are closed.

Collins had proposed to bolster the $25 billion Rural Hospital Fund to $50 billion, but her revision failed. And Murkowski was working to step up federal rebates to Alaska hospitals, although she was trying to secure provisions to save people in her state from cutting back on some healthcare and food stamps. They have not said how they will vote for the final package.

“Radio silence,” said Markowski when asked.

At the same time, conservative Senate Republicans who are proposing more rushed Senate healthcare cuts, including Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Cynthia Ramis of Wyoming, filed their way into Thunne’s office for a minimal night meeting.

The Senate is stirring up over 18 hours of amendments in what is called. Llama’s votea typical, laborious process that continues longer than usual as negotiations occur inside and outside the chamber floor. The White House legislative team was also at the Capitol.

Some of the amendments – Attacking some of the bills that are restricted Medicaid funding for rural hospitals Or shift Food Stamp Profit Cost The state – they won support from a small number of Republicans, but almost no one died.

Democrats fight day and night

Democrats are using the tools freely to delay and pull out the process as they were unable to stop the march towards passing.

Democrats have a flow of revision, forcing a full reading of the text, which took 16 hours.

Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a ranking Democrat on the Budget Committee, raised special concerns later Sunday when he began debating the accounting methods Republicans use.
