Trump spending bill faces opposition from some Republican senators
- Senate Republicans in Washington are debating a massive 1,000-page-plus spending and tax bill pushed by President Trump, aiming for a July 4 signing deadline.
- The bill seeks to extend 2017 tax cuts, add new breaks like no taxes on tips, and raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion to allow continued government borrowing.
- Senators face pressure to adjust the package amid concerns about Medicaid cuts, possible removal of some auto and overtime tax breaks, and opposition from figures like Sen. Rand Paul and Democrats.
- Elon Musk, a Trump ally and Tesla owner, harshly criticized the bill as a ‘‘disgusting abomination’’ and threatened to remove politicians voting for it, while Senate Majority Leader Thune acknowledged members staking out positions but stressed the need to succeed.
- The bill cleared the House narrowly last month and faces a potentially tight Senate vote as Republicans seek to balance spending cuts with tax breaks amid Democratic opposition and voter backlash ahead of November 2026 elections.
