Republicans race to July 4 deadline to pass ‘big, beautiful bill’ with votes in question

Lindsey McPherson, Washington Times

Senate and House GOP leaders are projecting confidence they’ll meet President Trump’s

July 4 deadline for passing his “big, beautiful bill,” despite Republicans threatening to vote against it. Senate Republicans are working on tweaks to their version of the bill, which passed the House last month, trying to win over holdouts and ensure the language adheres to the chamber’s cumbersome rules. The measure does not yet have support from at least 50 Senate Republicans, the minimum needed to pass with Vice President J.D. Vance breaking a tie.
