Senate Republicans Push for Major Amendments to Trump's Tax and Spending Bill
- Senate Republicans plan to amend President Trump's tax and spending bill after its narrow House passage on May 24, 2025, in Washington.
- This effort follows significant disagreements on the bill's tax cut durations, Medicaid and food stamp funding, and repeal of clean energy tax credits.
- Key senators like John Thune and Ron Johnson have expressed concerns, and groups have been meeting to evaluate the legislation ahead of a July 4 deadline.
- The House bill increases the debt limit by $4 trillion, cuts $290 billion from food aid, and repeals 2022 clean energy credits, with Thune noting, "And then we'll put our stamp on it."
- Negotiations in the Senate remain challenging due to the narrow Republican majority and differing priorities, suggesting substantial changes before the bill can reach Trump's desk.
