Trump and His ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Just Put the Senate in Play for Democrats
- The U.S. Senate voted on the weekend before July 1 to begin debate and amendments on the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill,' aiming for a July 4 signing by President Trump.
- This bill sparked fierce debate due to proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP and disagreements over tax deductions threatening fragile Republican seats like Sen. Thom Tillis’s in North Carolina.
- Tillis, a swing-state Republican facing Trump’s pressure and political backlash, announced on Sunday he would not seek re-election, opening a vulnerable seat for Democrats.
- The bill includes a $156 billion increase in military spending, contradicting Trump's antiwar promises while fueling conservative opposition wary of endless overseas interventions.
- If passed, this contentious legislation could weaken Republican Senate control and intensify disputes over spending priorities in an already divided Senate.
