Senate Republicans are struggling to secure the necessary votes for their reconciliation package, facing unanimous opposition from Democrats. Currently, GOP leaders can only afford to lose three Republican votes. After extensive amendment voting sessions, they still lack the required support, with some GOP senators expressing concerns over severe cuts to Medicaid and federal nutrition assistance. Senators Rand Paul and Thom Tillis have declared their opposition, while others, including Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, remain undecided, leading to frantic negotiations among party leaders.
Senate Republicans find themselves in a tight spot, requiring nearly unanimous support from their members to pass the reconciliation package with Democrats unanimously for opposition.
Despite extensive amendments and debates continuing into the early morning hours, Republican senators are struggling to secure enough votes for their controversial legislation.
