On June 29th, local time on Saturday, the US Senate narrowly voted 51 to 49 in a key procedural vote to advance Trump's tax reform bill, increasing the likelihood that the bill will pass in the next few days. The "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill is the core agenda of Trump's second term. After several hours of delay, all but two Republican lawmakers voted in favor. The originally scheduled 15-minute vote was open for more than three hours as some lawmakers insisted on consulting with Republican leadership. The bill, which uses the special "budget coordination" process, allows Republicans to pass legislation with a simple majority, but must ensure that the provisions are in line with Senate rules of procedure. Major policy differences and procedural disputes kept Republicans from releasing a revised version of the bill until late Friday night, leaving lawmakers less than 24 hours to review it. Vice President Vance traveled to the Capitol that night to prepare for a run-off vote, but ultimately did not need to intervene. A White House statement on Saturday warned that failure to pass the bill by July 4 would be "the ultimate betrayal".
