The Senate is on the brink of a major vote on Trump's domestic policy bill, testing party unity and the President's influence. Last-minute negotiations and hurdles threaten the bill's passage.
The Senate is preparing for a crucial vote on President Trump's ambitious domestic policy bill. Republican Leader John Thune anticipates a vote as early as next week, setting the stage for intense negotiations and a potential showdown. The bill's passage hinges on resolving key sticking points, including state and local tax deductions, Medicaid provisions, and green energy tax credits. The "Byrd Bath" process, designed to ensure compliance with Senate rules, is underway, with some provisions already ruled out of order. Disagreements between the House and Senate versions of the bill could lead to further delays or changes. The outcome will reveal the strength of Trump's influence within the Senate and the willingness of Republicans to compromise.
