Senate passes Trump tax cuts, spending bill after marathon vote

Senate Republicans narrowly passed President Trump's tax cuts and spending bill with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, despite opposition from three Republican senators. The bill, extending 2017 tax cuts while cutting Medicaid and food stamps to boost military and border spending, faced criticism for potentially increasing the national debt by over $3 trillion and stripping health insurance from 12 million people. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski's pivotal vote secured the bill's passage, acknowledging its mixed impact, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Elon Musk voiced their opposition. President Trump aims to sign the bill by July 4, but its passage in the House remains uncertain due to concerns over the national debt.
