President Donald Trump has called on the Senate Republicans to legislate on their widespread tax cuts and expenses, called the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, even when internal differences threaten its progress.
Before the Independence Day holiday, Republican leaders face resistance from their ranks to pursue the bill through Congress.
Although hard liners are demanding significant deductions in federal spending to prevent balloon deficit, moderates are retreating, and raising concerns about the potential impact of the bill on important social programs like Medicide, providing health care to low -income Americans. It is expected that before this legislation, 236.2 trillion national debt will increase trillions.
Some lawmakers have said that it may take up to August to pass the bill.
“This rural hospital is really becoming a drag,” Missouri’s Republican Senator Josh Holly told reporters. He was referring to the provisions that rural hospitals feared that their financing would be reduced and some would probably stop the operation.
North Carolina’s Republican Senator Thomas Tles, who faces a potentially difficult election campaign of 2026, told reporters that the potential proposal to create a $ 100 billion rural hospital fund would not be enough to fully run the facilities.
Another influential Republican, Mini’s Senator Susan Collins, who is also ready for election next year, told reporters that he was generally concerned about the financing of the bill for Medicide.
In a post on social media, Trump said, “For your friends in the Senate, locked yourself in a room if you need, do not go home, and contract this week. Work with the house so they can lift it, and move it immediately. No one goes on leave until it works.”
Scott Basant, who participated in the Senate’s Republican Republican lunch on Tuesday, said that the Congress was on the way to complete the July 4 deadline.
“I am sure that the Senate, which passes through the House, will move forward very fast in the house.”
The Senate’s emerging legislation will extend Trump’s 2017 tax deduction provisions, his crackdown on immigration will be funded and increased military spending.
The Senate bill will increase the roof of federal debt to another $ 5 trillion, which will include pressure to take action as the government is moving towards “X history” for potentially destructive defaults this summer.
“We are approaching the warning track,” Basant told reporters.
‘Loan Buster’
The unmanned Congress budget office said last week that despite the increase in economic activity, this version approved by the House of Representatives could raise at least $ 8 trillion in the federal deficit last month.
Independent analysts have predicted that the Senate version will cost more.
“Republicans know that their plan is a debtor but they don’t care,” said Chuck Shammer, a New York Senate Democratic leader. He added, “They are really borrowing this country with tax deductions.” “They know that.”
John Thoon, the majority of the Senate leader, said his chamber is on the way to pass the bill this week. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said his chamber would then take the legislation soon. The Republicans control both the Houses of the Congress.
Referring to the large number of Republican priorities, “hope, when the Push feels blow and everyone has to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, we will get the number of votes they need.”
The debate has been prepared by the opinion of the non -Partisan Senate parliamentarian, who is ruling what elements of the bill comply with the method that is using the Republican Senate to ignore Flabster about 60 votes. The bill cannot pass without ignoring Flabster because the solid opposition of the Senate Democrats will not allow him to get 60 votes in the Senate with 100 seats.
Parliamentarians have withheld provisions that will reduce costs to seek financial care, allowing foreign gas and oil projects to collect food aid programs for the poor to collect environmental reviews and food savings and green tax credit.
These decisions have put the House Republican harsh in danger, who can stop these legislation if they return to their chamber with these provisions.
“I feel like parliamentarians are hitting this bill. It is removing all conservative costs cuts that we are very careful with at the edge of a razor at home.”
Thun has repeatedly ruled out the possibility of submission of parliamentarians, whose role is widely regarded by lawmakers for the integrity of the Senate.
But the Republicans have been able to seek the approval of the parliamentarians by revising the language of the first blocked provisions.
