The Senate wanders in an overnight session that was dragged until Tuesday, with Republican leaders purchased time while searching for him Ways to secure support to President Donald Trump Big bill Tax exemptions and spending discounts While the proposed amendments arise, most of them are democrats who are trying to defeat the package.
The game was not immediately on the horizon. Senate leader John Thun, from South Dakota It works on an agreement at the last minute between those in his party that the draft law discounts in Medicaid will leave millions without the most conservative care and its most conservative pavilion, which wants even the most severe discounts in getting rid of the deficit with tax cuts.
Thun announced at some point that they were in “Homstretch” while he was flowing across the halls in the Capitol, only for a short time, indicating that any progress is “out of reach.”
At the same time Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson She pointed to more potential problems in the future, warning that the Senate package may face a problem when it is sent to the House of Representatives for a final round of voting, where the two lawmakers are called to Washington before Trump’s deadline at the deadline in July.
Johnson, the Louisiana Republican, said: “I have prevailed on my Senate colleagues to please, please, please keep it closer to the home product,” said Johnson, Republican Louisiana. Republicans have already gone through the House of Representatives They copied them last month.
It is a pivotal moment for the Republicans, who control Congress and are racing to end work with only days to go before the deadline for holidays in Trump. 940 pages “One beautiful invoice law,” Also entitled “Bat”, he consumed Congress as a common priority with the president.
In a midnight post on social media, urging them to do so, Trump called the bill “perhaps greater and most important of its kind.” Vice President JD VANCE summarized a series of his jobs, simply calling on Senators to “pass the draft law.”
Republican leaders do not have room to spare them, with a narrow majority in both rooms. Thown cannot lose more than three Republican Senate members, and two already – Senator garlic Tilis from North CarolinaWho warns people who will lose access to the health care of the Sunaer, Senator Rand Paul, from Kentucky, who opposes the debt limit – indicated opposition. Teleles suddenly announced during the weekend You will not seek to re -election After Trump threatened the campaign against him.
Attention quickly turned to the main Senate members, Lisa Morkovsky of Alaska and Susan Collins from Maine, who also raised concerns about health care discounts, but also a loose alliance of four conservative Republican members of the Republican Party who are paid even for severity.
On social media, billionaire Eileon Musk was criticized again in the Republicans as “the pork party !!” To include a item that would raise the country’s debt by $ 5 trillion, which is necessary to allow the borrowing to continue to pay bills.

Senate members to watch
A few Republicans seem to be completely satisfied with the emergence of the final package, either in the House of Representatives or the Senate.
Teleles said it was a betrayal of the president’s promises not to remove people from health care, especially if rural hospitals are closed.
Collins suggested strengthening the proposed rural hospital fund worth $ 25 billion to 50 billion dollars, but its amendment failed. Murkowski was trying to secure rulings to spare people in its mandates from some discounts in the field of health care and food while also working to enhance the Federal Payment of Alaska Hospitals. They did not say how they would vote for the final package.
“The silence of the radio,” said Morakovsky when he was asked.
Meanwhile, the Republicans of the Conservative Senate who proposed discounts in the field of health care, including Rick Scott from Florida, Mike Lee from Utah, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, and Sinatia Lomes from Wyoming, to the Thun’s office to meet night and night.
The Senate spent about 18 hours to get rid of more than twenty amendments to the so -called Voting-DamaAn arduous process usually lasts longer than usual with negotiations inside and outside the room hall. The White House legislative team was also in the Capitol.
A few adjustments – to strike parts of the bill that would limit Medicaid money for rural hospitals Or transformation The costs of the advantages of food stamps For states – she won support from a few Republicans, although almost no one has passed.
Senator Mike Crabo, Chairman of the Republican Finance Committee, rejected the terrible predictions of health care discounts as Democrats were evading what he called “Fear Policy.”
What is in the big bill
Finally, the Senate Bill includes $ 4.5 trillion of tax cuts, according to the latest CBO analysis, which always makes it. Trump rates for 2017And that will end at the end of the year if Congress fails to act, with the addition of the new that it has done, including No taxes on advice.

In addition, the bill will provide a pumping of $ 350 billion to Borders and national securityIncluding deportation, some of them pay for a new fee charged with immigrants.
Democrats are fighting throughout the day and night
Unable to stop the march towards traffic, Democrats are used as a minority party in Congress tools available to them to delay the process and withdraw it.
Democrats forced a full reading of the text, which took 16 hours, and have a current of modifications.
Senator Patti Murray of Washington, Democrats on the credits committee, has caused special concern at the beginning of the discussion late Sunday about the accounting method used by Republicans, which says tax exemptions from Trump’s first state are now “current policy”, and the cost of their extension should not be calculated towards the deficit.
She said that this type of “magic mathematics” will not fly with Americans trying to balance their home books.
