Donald Trump’s “big and beautiful law” approached Monday, as Republicans in the Senate accused their efforts to pass the leading tax legislation before the deadline imposed by the US President on July 4.
But while Trump met with the leaders of the Republican congress and insisted that the draft law was “going well”, he remained uncertain whether comprehensive legislation would obtain enough Republicans in the Capitol Hill to be signed in the law by the weekend.
“A big big bill, moving well! Make America great again!” Trump said to the position of social truth platform early on Monday.
White House press secretary Caroline Levitte later said that Trump met the Republican Corporation of the Senate John Thun and Republican spokesman Mike Johnson on Monday in a renewed batch to skip the fight inside the pace and obtain the bill on the line.
Levitt said: “The White House and the president insist on passing this draft law, and this is the draft law that makes its way to its office.” “Republicans need to stay harsh and united during this house, and we rely on them to accomplish the task.”
The alleged major and beautiful draft law-which extends the tax cuts that were presented in the first period of Trump by reducing spending on health care and social welfare programs-a major procedural hole on the weekend when Senate members voted frankly to start discussing the legislation.
On Monday morning, legislators began a series of marathon votes to amendments to the draft law in the “voting-Rama” process that was appointed in a final or down vote on the draft law just on Monday night.
But with the unification of the Democrats in their opposition to the draft law, the Trump party can only lose three votes in the Senate if the legislation is to pass the Supreme Congress room by a simple majority. Two Republican Senators – Rand Paul Paul and Tom Teleles of North Carolina – said they would vote against legislation.
Many others have expressed reservations about the volume and scope of the bill, including specific provisions that reduce spending on medicaid, the public health plan for low -income Americans, and the counter -energy incentives for the renewable energy industry.
Last month, the House of Representatives approved its own version of the “Beautiful Big Law”. However, any issue that passes through the Senate will need to be sent back to the House of Representatives for approval before sending the final text to the Trump office for its signing of the law.
Many Republicans in the House of Representatives have already seemed to have a warning law on the Senate version of the “Great and Beautiful Bill” – which raises the possibility that even if the members of the Senate passed the legislation this week, this may stop again in the House of Representatives. Johnson competes with a barberry majority, and he can only lose a handful of sounds.
The House of Representatives has threatened freedom, a influential group of conservative lawmakers, to empty legislation. The Financial Falcons Group flowed against the “Beautiful Grand Law” on Monday, saying that the Senate version added 651 billion dollars to the deficit, including the cost of interest.
“This is not a financial responsibility. It is not what we agreed upon,” the ruler said in a statement on X.
However, Levitt remained optimistic about the prospects of the draft law on Monday, as the correspondents told: “The president is well aware that this is the draft law not only needs to come out of the Senate, but must return to the House of Representatives.
The Senate Senate Budget Budget Office will add more than 3.2 trillion dollars to US national debt over 10 years.
The White House has repeatedly rejected the estimates of the Central Bank of Oman and insisted that economic growth and strong revenue from the Trump tariff system would cover the cost of legislation.
