President Donald Trump is pressing for a timely passage of his tax breaks and spending cuts bill, aiming for it to be signed by the Fourth of July. Despite obstacles, including political opposition and dissent within the Senate, Trump is using personal outreach to senators to encourage support for the 1,000-page package. Senate Majority Leader Thune acknowledges the tight voting margin within the GOP as they prepare to make revisions for a vote that is expected to be narrow, while facing democratic pushback on cuts to social programs.
Trump expressed urgency, stating that it was a "Historic Opportunity to turn our Country around" and pushed for his bill to reach his desk by the Fourth of July.
Senate Majority Leader Thune noted the pressure on the Senate majority, indicating that individual members would have to negotiate and stake their positions in this crucial vote.
