The Big, Beautiful Bill, containing Trump's ambitious tax reform, passed the Senate with a 51-50 vote, aided by Vice President J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote. The vote followed a lengthy 15-hour reading of its 940 pages by Senate staffers. The legislation aims to further tax cuts from 2017, despite potential public spending increases. Back in the House, where it initially passed narrowly, renewed debate is required due to significant changes in the bill. Hardline Republicans are also expressing opposition, complicating future approval chances.
