The Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill on Tuesday, pushing forward a measure that would extend Trump-era tax cuts, fund immigration crackdowns, and roll back green energy programs.
The 940-page bill passed 51-50 after Vice President JD Vance broke the tie. It now heads to the House, where Republicans hold a narrow 220-212 majority.
The bill makes Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent and introduces new deductions for seniors, tipped workers, and overtime. It also tightens access to food and health benefits, adds $5 trillion in borrowing authority, and, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would raise the national debt by $3.3 trillion.
Some House Republicans oppose the Senate version, citing steeper Medicaid cuts and a higher deficit. Trump is urging lawmakers to approve the bill before the July 4 holiday.
