Senators are still voting on amendments to President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” in what’s known as a vote-a-rama. Senate Majority Leader John Thune can only afford to lose three Republican votes and get the package through his chamber. If the bill passes in the Senate, it still faces an uncertain future in the House, where lawmakers must approve the upper chamber’s revisions.
Senators voted on amendments and negotiated with one another all night long Monday, as President Donald Trump’s megabill struggled to win enough support in the upper chamber to advance, and the president’s second-term domestic priorities hung in the balance.
By early Tuesday morning, the Senate had held 45 votes over about 24 hours, surpassing a previous vote-a-rama record set in 2008, of 44 votes.
