The Senate's approval of the Republican budget blueprint marks a significant step in advancing President Trump's domestic policy, enabling the fast-tracking of tax cuts and spending reforms. The 51-48 vote followed an overnight session prompted by Democratic protests. The approval, which faced division within Republican ranks, leads the resolution to the House for further action. This plan seeks to solidify the tax relief initiated in 2017 and proposes substantial investments in key areas like national security and energy, signaling the G.O.P.'s strategic legislative direction.
The Senate approved Republicans' budget blueprint just after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday to clear the way for passing President Trump's domestic agenda.
Disagreements between Republicans in the House and the Senate about what should be in that bill had paralyzed them for weeks.
This resolution is the first step toward a final bill to make permanent the tax relief we implemented in 2017 and deliver a transformational investment in our border, national and energy security.
The budget blueprint goes next to the House, which must adopt it before lawmakers in both chambers can set to work drafting the legislation.
