Republican infighting defined a caustic debate that saw significant opposition to Medicaid cuts, which could define the 2026 midterm elections

Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax and spending cut bill passed the Senate Tuesday after a furious push by Republican leaders to persuade holdouts to back the legislation and hand the president a political win.

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s ambitious ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’.The 940-page legislation was passed in a 51-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote following a night of intense debate. The bill now returns to the House of Representatives, where a tight vote is also expected.
