Washington-expects the US Senate to consider the amendments to President Donald Trump’s multi-lasting tax and the bill on the early hours of Monday morning, with a vote for a final passage later in the day.
Republicans voted on Saturday night to start debates on the massive package, which includes tax cuts for mostly rich, as well as the main cuts of safety programs such as Medicaid and food assistance. Several key GOP detainees have transferred their positions, which allowed Trump’s extensive legislative program to continue with 51-49 votes in a special quick process known as a budget coordination.
The legislation will take health insurance for nearly 12 million people and will add at least $ 3.3 trillion to the national debt for a decade, according to a new evaluation of the Congress budget. This issue will grow to nearly $ 4 trillion when it includes interest.
Senators will be able to propose an unlimited number of amendments to the bill during a marathon voices session known as the Voting-Rama. Democrats are expected to propose amendments designed to divide Republicans and put pressure on the vulnerable GOP senators for re -election next year, including proposals that would raise taxes on the rich, and will turn the cuts of the Medicaid bill and the federal food aid.
Meanwhile, GOP leaders will be under pressure to restrict changes to the bill as far as possible to overcome it through the final line to the Trump deadline on July 4.
Some Republican senators have said they wanted to see additional changes to the bill. Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), for example, GOP for re-election next year, said her voting to improve the bill on Saturday was made for procedural reasons and did not mean that he would eventually support it with the final passage. She wanted to see “significant” changes, including in Medicaid and federal nutrition regulations.
But Republicans may not have to rely on Collins voting in the end. Even if it eventually votes no, the bill can still go through a rotating vote from Vice President JD Vance.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Has his voice for the bill on Saturday from NO to yes after GOP leaders have agreed to vote on a change that will break out the Medicaid expansion under the Affairs Act, terminating 90% of federal federal expenses. It is unclear whether this change will have the support to be accepted. This can also create problems for the quick transfer of the account in the GOP house controlled.
Senator Lisa Murkovski (R-Alaska) also voted to reach the bill on Saturday after an hour of uncertainty on the Senate floor, but she has not yet said if she will support him at the final passage. The Senate Parliament advised on Sunday that it increased the federal support for Alaska, which was taken to the bill as a way to compensate for the abbreviations of Medicaid and the nutritional assistance violated the rules of the Chamber.
The Senate Republicans began a debate on the bill on the bill on Sunday, unleashing a parliamentary maneuver that would allow them to circumvent an unfavorable solution from the parliamentary office to use a budget trick that darkens the cost of the bill. Instead of $ 4 trillion to be added to the deficit for 10 years, if the bill has entered into force, according to this accounting method known as the “current policy”, Republican senators say it would only cost about $ 500 billion.
This caused a strong howl from a democratic minority.
“Instead of being honest with the American people about the true costs of their billionaire distribution, Republicans do something that the Senate has never done before, having false mathematical and accounting tricks to hide the true costs of their bill,” said the minority leader in Senate.
Senator Ron Wayden (D-Ole.) Stated that GOP violates the rules of the Philibuster and that he would return to pursue them when the Democrats were in the majority.
“Everyone should understand, this is the nuclear option,” Wyden said on the floor. “It’s just hidden behind a whole of Washington, Colombia.
