The Senate has enforced a tense overnight session that was now looking for the Republican leaders on Tuesday morning to look for opportunities to support President Donald Trump’s major tax benefits and spend cuts while doing proposed changes, mainly from Democrats, who tried to defeat the package.
A final seemed to take shape. The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune from South Dakota, spent the night to grab after last-minute agreements between those in his party that the reduction of the legislation against Medicaid is left without care and the most conservative flank, which even wants steeper cuts to stop deficits with taxes.
It is a crucial moment for the Republicans who have control over the congress and work on July 4 with just a few days before Trump’s self -imposed period. The 940-page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, as he is officially entitled “A common title”, consumed Congress as a joint priority with the president.
Here is the latest:
“I really don’t know what’s going to happen”

When asked whether she would support the bill, Collins said that she still had a lot of stern reservations about the invoice.

Like some Republicans try to change Trump’s substantial bill
Senator Susan Collins from Maine had proposed to strengthen the proposed rural hospital fund of 25 billion US dollars to $ 50 billion and with a higher tax rate for those who earn more than 25 million dollars a year, but failed to change.
And Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski tried to secure supplies to save people in her state in front of a few food brands that were apparently accepted, and at the same time worked on improving the federal reimbursements in hospitals in Alaska and other countries that do not correspond to the parliamentary rules.

Then Trump joked: “We will teach them how to run away from an alligator when they escape prison.”
“Don’t run in a straight line. Run like that,” and he moved his hand in a zigzag movement. “And you know what? Your chances rise by 1%.”
Trump reacts to Elon Musk’s criticism of tax reduction and expenditure account
Trump said the billionaire could lose much more than the subsidies for electrical vehicles that would be eliminated when the measure becomes a law.
