In a dramatic turn of events, the U.S. Senate has narrowly passed Donald Trump’s controversial ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ after a grueling 27 hours of debate, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. The legislation, which now heads to the House, promises sweeping changes that could reshape the American landscape, but not without significant risks.
The bill, which extends tax cuts from Trump’s first term, allocates funds for border security and the military, including the contentious Golden Dome Defense Project. However, critics are sounding alarms, warning that it could add a staggering $3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade and jeopardize healthcare for nearly 11 million Americans.
As Trump monitored the vote from a newly opened migrant detention center in Florida, he expressed optimism about the bill’s fate in the House, asserting, “There’s something for everyone.” Yet, Democrats are already framing this as a disastrous deal for ordinary Americans, vowing that today’s vote will haunt their Republican counterparts as the consequences unfold.
With many Republicans in the House expressing dissatisfaction with the Senate’s version, the path ahead is fraught with potential conflict and negotiation. Trump’s self-imposed deadline of July 4th looms large, putting immense pressure on lawmakers to reach a consensus.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as the nation watches closely. Will the House bend to the Senate’s will, or will this bill crumble under its own weight? The clock is ticking, and the future of American policy hangs in the balance. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
