Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) expressed his frustration about missing a family beach trip while Congress was engaged in lengthy debates on President Trump's economic bill, known as the Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate discussed the 900-page spending package for over 16 hours, which included lengthy readings and a lack of engagement from Republican senators. Fetterman laments this process, indicating that he does not find it constructive to keep Senate members working into the early hours for a predictable vote outcome, amidst scrutiny over his attendance record in the Senate.
Oh my God, I just want to go home! I've already missed our entire trip to the beach. There's no drama that we know the votes are going to go.
After 16 brutal hours, Senate staff finally finish reading the One Big Beautiful Bill out loud, cover to cover.
