Republicans in the US Senate on Monday will make the last impetus for the passage of a large, beautiful bill of Donald Trump, a large -scale tax and cost bill that the president has demanded to be ready for his signature by Friday.
The senators were convened in Capitol for a process known as the “vote-a-line”, in which legislators would propose amendments to the legislation on what is expected to be many hours. Democrats, who universally opposed the bill, are expected to use the process to force GOP in politically complex votes that they will seek to rule against them in the election.
But all the looks will be directed to the Republicans who will use the process to make changes at the last moment in the text before voting for a passage, which may come on Tuesday, after which he will return to the House of Representatives for their final saying. On Saturday, the Republicans in the Senate agreed to start a debate about the act, but not without a significant drama. After North Carolina, the moderate Tom Tillis refused to vote for the bill, Trump attacked him and the Senator announced that he would not withstand re -election next year, potentially improving the chances of Democrats to take the place of the purple state.
When the marathon session started on Monday morning, John Tun sounded optimistic that the measure would soon clear his camera.
“Let’s vote. It’s good for America, it’s good for the American people, it’s good for working families,” said the leader of the majority in the Senate.
The Democrats managed to temporarily delay the progress of the bill on Saturday night, asking the clerk to read the whole text on 940 pages before looking at the amendments, which took a process, which took until Sunday afternoon.
On the Senate floor on Monday morning, Chuck Sumer said the bill “steals people’s health, collects their electricity bill, takes their work – all this to pay for billionaire tax relief.”
Democrats, said the Senate’s minority leader, will propose changes to “see once and for all if Republicans really mean all those nice things they said about” strengthening Medicaid “and” protecting the middle -class families, “or if they just lie.
It is unclear whether there are enough Republican votes to accept the bill through the Senate. Goop can only afford three defects, and Tilli and Rand from Kentucky have said they will vote against it.
The bill is the best legislative priority of Trump and focuses exclusively on taxes and costs so that it can be adopted through the Senate without being subjected to the threshold of the 60-voice of Filibuster. The measure will prolong the tax cut created during the first term of Trump in 2017 and will create new exceptions for advice, overtime and interest rates for car loans that were part of the President’s re -election terrain.
It will also provide tens of billions of dollars to hire new immigration agents, build fortifications along the US border, including a wall along the southern border with Mexico, and will expand the government’s ability to deport people.
To compensate for their costs, Republicans offered Medicaid abbreviations, which provides health for low -income and disabled Americans, as well as the additional food care program, also known as food marks. They have also suggested that some of the tax loans on the green energy created in Joe Biden be considered.
Moderate Republican MPs fear that the reduction of benefits will harm the programs that their voters rely and will get rural hospitals out of the business and are expected to propose amendments designed to fire the impact. Others object to the rapid tension of the incentives of green energy, as it will put back projects in their countries or create insecurity for investors.
Republican leaders also seek to calm fiscal conservatives in the House and Senate, who want the bill to reduce the large deficit of the United States’ federal budget. As it is written, it seems that the bill does not do this-Sunday, the non-partial budget budget estimated that it would add 3.3 TTN to the deficit by 2034.
