Senate Republicans passed President Trump’s massive tax and spending package after intense negotiations. The final vote was tied, with Vice President JD Vance casting the deciding vote.
Republican Senators Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis broke ranks and voted with Democrats. The bill includes major tax cuts and increased national security funding. To offset the cost, it features the most significant cuts to federal safety net programs in decades.
