The U.S. Senate passed former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending Bill Tuesday after an intense 18-hour voting session. Known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” it renews $4.5 trillion in tax cuts from Trump’s first term. The bill also cuts major social welfare programs. The Senate vote ended 52 to 48, with some Republicans opposing the package.
The legislation now heads to the House of Representatives, where Democrats vow to block it. House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries called the it “an attack on working families.” Many House Republicans also worry about the impact of Medicaid, food aid, and green energy cuts in key districts.
It promises economic growth by extending tax breaks for corporations and wealthy Americans. Critics say it adds nearly $3 trillion to the national debt over 10 years. Experts warn this increase could raise interest rates and force future budget cuts. It eliminates funding for renewable energy and healthcare programs from the Biden era.
Trump hailed the Senate approval on his social media platform, calling the bill “the most beautiful legislation ever passed.” He promised jobs and “huge tax relief.” Republicans see the bill as key to Trump’s 2026 campaign message. Meanwhile, Democrats vow to fight to protect social programs and accuse Republicans of favoring the rich over the poor.
