On Sunday, Republican lawmakers were struggling to find votes to pass the Donald Trump bill and spend it after they only received adequate support to start the debate on legislation in the Senate.

Republican members of the Republican, late on Saturday, took the numbers to start discussing what Trump called “the big and beautiful bill” in the afternoon of charged negotiations. A 51-49 vote began with decisive procedural steps towards passing the new measure.

But the congressional quarrels continued on Sunday, as Democrats demand the reading of the 940 -page law in the Senate Hall. The reading is expected to end on Sunday afternoon. The votes are scheduled to be followed, but their date has not yet been determined.

The passage of the draft law – which extends to the overwhelming tax cuts that were presented during the first period of Trump’s state – has been a priority for the president since his return to office. Senate members have accumulated to obtain legislation on the line before the July 4 holiday.

In order to finance the tax reduction extensions and increase spending on military security and border security, the draft law cuts the funds of health care and social care programs. It also brings taxes on advice and additional work.

“Tonight we saw a great victory in the Senate,” Trump said in a position on his platform in fact early on Sunday morning. “Very proud of the Republican Party tonight.”

Independent predictors have warned that the draft law will add to the levels of debt already swollen in the country, which prompted them to the post -highlands in World War II.

Non -party congress Budget Office said on Sunday that its current version would add more than $ 3.2 trillion to US national debt over 10 years.

The White House, who insisted that the legislation will eventually reduce religion: “Democrats and the media love to link to an incorrect registration historically.”

Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate, told the Senate members late on Saturday that the Republicans were “scrambling to pass a radical bill, which was released to the public in the hollow of the night, and they pray that the American people do not realize what is in it.”

The cost of the bill and planned discounts in Medicaid’s health services to the poor have worried even some Republicans.

The Gomings of Tilis, the Republican Senator of North Carolina, joined the Democrats in voting against the opening debate on the draft law, warning of legislation “that would lead to tens of billions of dollars in the missing financing of North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural societies.”

Trump’s revenge was quickly, as Tilis threatens a basic challenge.

“I will meet with [challengers] In the coming weeks, he is looking for a person who will properly represent great people in North Carolina, and most importantly, the United States of America, “said in fact social.

Tillis announced on Sunday that he would not seek to re -election and be criticized in the country’s severe party policy.

“In Washington over the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that the leaders are ready to embrace the two parties, the middle solution, and show independent thinking have become a threatened type,” Tilis said.

In the event of uncertainty, his retirement is what is scheduled to be among the most competitive seats in the mid -term elections. Waili Niklem, a former representative in the House of Representatives, launched his presentation to the Senate in North Carolina, a decisive wilayat.

The billionaire Illon Musk also used the moment to resume his attacks on the bill for the first time since it fell with Trump because of this case.

“The latest Senate Bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause a tremendous strategic harm to our country!” Musk said in a post at X on Saturday afternoon.

Musk added: “Quite crazy and destroyed.” “It gives bulletins to the past industries while the extreme destructive industries are in the future.”

If the procedure is approved, the US House of Representatives, who approved its own version of the legislation last month, must approve the amendments made to the Senate Bill before sending it to the President’s Office for its signature.
