Facing intense pressure, House must now decide if Trump's bill is good enough
Published: 7/1/2025

US Senate narrowly passes Trump's significant tax-cut and spending bill after almost 24 hours of debate. Key features from Trump's campaign agenda included, but concessions were likely made to secure passage. The bill now moves to the House, where approval is uncertain amid concerns from lawmakers like Senator Lisa Murkowski about the rushed process and contents. It contains substantial funding for immigration, defense, and permanent tax cuts at the expense of Biden-era environmental programs and Medicaid.
