US Senate Republicans struggle to push Trump's budget bill over finish line
Published: 7/1/2025
US Senate Republicans are facing challenges in passing Trump's budget bill due to disagreements over amendments. The nearly 1,000-page legislation on tax and spending lacks enough votes to pass, with four Republican senators withholding their support. The bill's fate rests on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who is working to secure the necessary votes amid divisions within the party. Despite Trump's initial deadline request, the bill's passage timeline remains uncertain as negotiations continue in Congress.
