The U.S. Senate kicked off debate Sunday on President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill. the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” passed narrowly by the House last month, Senate Republicans are now racing to reshape the legislation before sending it back for final House approval.
The bill boosts funding for border security, energy production, and defense while slashing safety net programs to offset the cost.
Leader Chuck Schumer forced a reading of all 940 pages of the GOP legislation after it advanced by a slim margin Saturday night. It's unclear if Republicans have enough votes to get it on President Trump's desk by the 4th of July as they're hoping for.
