US Senate Passes Trump's Tax Bill

The United States narrowly passed President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on July 1, 2025, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. The bill, a major legislative priority for Donald Trump and the United States — Republican Party (United States), includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, making permanent Donald Trump's 2017 rates and adding new ones like no taxes on tips. It also imposes $1.2 trillion in cuts, primarily to United States — Medicaid and food stamps, by implementing work requirements and altering federal reimbursements to states. Additionally, the package rolls back billions in green energy tax credits and provides a $350 billion infusion for border and national security. The United States — Congressional Budget Office projected that the bill would lead to 11.8 million more uninsured Americans by 2034 and increase the national deficit by $3.3 trillion over a decade. The passage was contentious, with three Republican senators—Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul—joining all Democrats in opposition, citing concerns over United States — Medicaid cuts and the $5 trillion debt limit increase. The bill now returns to the United States — United States House of Representatives for reconciliation, where Speaker Mike Johnson had previously warned against significant changes.
