What’s Happening in the Senate Right Now?

• The Senate vote-a-rama began Monday and has now continued for over 16 hours, with senators voting on dozens of amendments to the nearly 1,000-page “Big, Beautiful Bill.”
• Key provisions include sweeping tax code changes, increased Pentagon and border security funding, and deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits—sparking outrage from Democrats and advocacy groups.
• Democratic senators are using every procedural tool available, including a full bill reading and a flood of amendments, to slow the process and spotlight controversial elements.
• Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated after midnight that the chamber is “hopefully on the stretch,” but the end is not yet in sight as both parties dig in for a protracted battle.

Why Is This Senate Session So Important?

• Republicans are racing to pass the bill before the July 4 deadline, hoping to deliver a major legislative win for President Trump’s second term.
• The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, $800 billion more than the House version—fueling concerns about fiscal responsibility and long-term economic impact.
• Every vote counts: With razor-thin margins, Republicans can only afford to lose three votes, and Vice President JD Vance is standing by to break a tie.

What Happens Next?

• The vote-a-rama will continue into the early morning, with at least 10 more amendment votes expected before a final vote on the bill.
• If passed, the legislation returns to the House for further consideration and could reach President Trump’s desk by midweek.
• Delays could derail the GOP’s timeline, intensify political fallout, and jeopardize the bill’s passage as internal divisions and public scrutiny mount.
