And Republicans control just a slim majority in the Senate. And that's 53 seats are going to need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. So they hope to get Democrats to hit that threshold. We know one Republican, Kentucky Republican Rand Paul, says he's a no vote. While one Democrat, John Fetterman, has signaled he will be the first to join the GOP to get this passed.

Well, they wanted a plan that would put limits on Trump's ability to make cuts and dismantle the federal government. But House Democrats, while they largely held on this together to vote no, that's not as clear for Senate Democrats. They were not forthcoming yesterday in most cases on how they would vote.

And that happened in the case for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who was asked several times about this but would not say what the plan was. So we know they're facing pressure from both sides, and they don't want to be blamed for a government shutdown. So it's going to be a big unity test for Democrats.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's confident he has the votes to pass the measure, even as his conference needs to stay virtually united to make that happen. President Trump has pushed congressional Republicans to get the measure to his desk to avoid a shutdown. However, a handful of House GOP members have signaled they aren't ready to say yes yet.

And at least one, Kentucky Republican Thomas Massey, says he's a definite no. Democrats, alarmed by the absence of bipartisan negotiations and the leeway it gives the Trump administration on spending decisions, have said they will not be helping Republicans get the job done.

So lots of sweeping changes if Republicans can get to the finish line with the final product. But the framework that was passed last night spills out plans for new immigration, defense, energy and tax policy. And there's a lot of big numbers here. For one, it calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. That's tied to an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts that are expiring at the end of the year.

And then campaign promises are also included in this plan that Trump made about eliminating taxes on tips. It also calls for $2 trillion in cuts to federal spending that would dramatically reshape the federal budget, numbers that help fuel a lot of internal disagreement for the party.
