Trump promotes Big Beautiful Bill as Senate Vote Looms
(CNN)-After returning from the NATO meeting, President Donald Trump immediately went to domestic issues in order to get ready to unveil his comprehensive policy agenda at a White House event this afternoon. The proposal is expected to be approved by the Senate this week and returned to the House for final passage, according to Republican leaders. The bill will help all boats rise, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R), who voiced optimism.
Democrats, meanwhile, are fiercely opposing the bill and are fighting back against planned cuts to Medicaid and other social programs. Even while they don’t have enough votes to stop the bill, a few Republicans who disagree could throw the proposal off course. Some Republicans are concerned because the Senate version of the measure cuts Medicaid more deeply than the House version. Surprising coalitions on Capitol Hill have resulted from that.
We can’t close rural hospitals, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said in response to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who warned that rural hospitals that are already having difficulties will have to close. That’s what I’m saying. To assist lessen the damage, GOP leaders are allegedly thinking about adding a fund for rural hospitals.
The bill’s enormous tax breaks, which some estimate to be in the trillions, are another contentious feature. Democrats contend that the breaks come at the price of basic services like food aid and medical care.
According to Chief Deputy Minority Whip Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), it’s red tape for regular Americans and the red carpet for billionaires.
Concerns about the bill’s effect on the national debt are also being raised by some GOP fiscal conservatives.
No matter who is president, I’m fiscally conservative, stated Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Furthermore, I just cannot back something that exacerbates the deficit.
