NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has passed the key Senate vote on June 29. As the bill now heads for its next round of votes, the US president has hailed the key senate vote as a “great victory” for the Republican party. Taking to Truth Social, Trump described the Senate vote as a “great victory”.
Trump wrote – “Tonight we saw a Great Victory in the Senate with the “Great, Big, Beautiful Bill. but, it wouldn’t have happened without the Fantastic Work of Senator Rick Scott, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Cynthia Lummis.”
The bill was passed with a narrow vote of 51 to 49. While all Republicans voted ‘yes’ to pass the bill, Thom Tillis and Ron Johnson sided with the Democrats and called for a reading of the 94-[age bill before its passage. The Big Beautiful Bill is part of US President Trump’s efforts towards tax cuts and spending. The bill focuses on funds for the US president’s top immigration, border, tax-cut and military priorities and policies.
This bill would also extend the 2017 tax cuts imposed during Trump’s first presidency, which cut other taxes and boost spending on military and border security as part of the crackdown on immigration.
