The Big Beautiful Bill, a controversial 1,000-page document, passed the Senate by a vote of 51-50, relying on a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. Three Republican senators opposed the bill alongside all Democrats. The legislation, which significantly increases the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars, is expected to face strong opposition in the House. Elon Musk criticized the spending, suggesting the need for a new political party. Trump threatened Republican senators who voted against the bill with primary challenges and urged them to ensure its passage immediately.
The controversial, 1,000-page bill passed by a 51-50 margin, using a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance, and will now go back to the House of Representatives for a final vote.
Trump threatened to back primary challenges against any Republican who voted against the bill, singling out Tillis in a Truth Social post over the weekend.
It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country the PORKY PIG PARTY!! wrote Musk on Monday.
Last week, Trump also ordered Republicans to lock yourself in a room if you must to get the bill passed.
