On Saturday night, Senate Republicans finally passed their version of the big, beautiful bill. The one big, beautiful bill. This is the tax bill that is going to retain President Trump's tax cuts from 2017. It is also going to provide funding. For building the wall and other immigration enforcement matters is going to provide certain subsidies in certain areas, gonna take away subsidies in other areas. The vote was incredibly close. Two GOP senators, Rand Paul of Kentucky, of course, of course, and Tom Tillis of North Carolina, who opposed some of the cuts to future spending in Medicaid in particular.
They opposed. But the bill passed 5149 in terms of starting debate. on the legislation, that means that in all likelihood this bill is gonna come to a vote in the House of Representatives. Sometime this week, President Trump's goal of getting this thing done by July 4th is going to be kept, according to Politico. The vote came after a day-long scramble by GOP leaders to win over several Republican senators who were viewed as undecided or who had vowed to block debate over their opposition to pieces of the bill, including an extended negotiating session that unfolded with various senators and vice president J.D. Vance while the vote was underway. Now again, Ron Johnson, Senator Ron Johnson, who's been a guest on the program of
Wisconsin. He had opposed the bill. He apparently won a promise of an amendment vote related to the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, that proposal would end the ninety percent federal cost share for new enrollees under that arrangement, which got one of the big aspects of Obamacare. Basically it says that if the states want Obamacare, they're gonna pay more for Obamacare. Why should the federal government have to subsidize all of that? Senate Majority Leader John Thune declined to comment on those concessions, but Johnson suggested that Thune and Trump would support the amendment, which had first been promoted by Florida Senator Rick Scott. So there are enough sort of giveaways to the fiscal hawk wing to get Ron Johnson on board.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah also was part of the huddle, and he told reporters that part of the conversation focused on deficit reduction. Now again, there could theoretically be a blow up before this is all said and done. But President Trump personally intervened Friday and Saturday to shore up the whip count. He did aggressively lobby Tom Tillis on Friday night, and then he attacked him publicly, but he lobbied some of the other senators as well.
