As the 4th of July holiday approaches—a much talked about target day for passage of the bill. CNBC: President Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon hosted a group of working-class Americans at the White House, as he cranks up pressure on Senate Republicans to quickly pass his massive tax-and-spending agenda. The event in support of Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” featured a collection of what his administration described as “everyday Americans” poised to benefit from the legislation’s tax cuts and other provisions. They included truck drivers, firefighters, law enforcement, healthcare workers, ranchers, and workers who rely on tips (CNBC).

Senate votes 51-49 to advance President Trump’s ‘big beautiful’ spending bill — despite opposition from 2 GOP lawmakers
By Anna Young, NY Post, June 28, 2025:
The Senate voted Saturday to launch into debate on President Trump’s “big beautiful” spending bill, after Republican leaders spent hours working to gain enough support to approve the 940-page document.
The multi-trillion dollar bill narrowly advanced in a 51-49 procedural vote, despite opposition from two Republican lawmakers who joined their Democratic colleagues in an attempt to block the measure from reaching the Senate floor.

The Senate voted 51-49 in a procedural vote to advance the One Big Beautiful Bill to a debate on June 28, 2025. C-SPANWisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson initially voted against the procedural motion but flipped at the eleventh hour.
Vice President JD Vance had arrived at Capitol Hill earlier in the night and remained on standby ready to cast his tie-breaking vote as Republicans remained divided throughout the nearly four hour proceeding.
Debate will now begin on the spending bill – and that could take hours as New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer has promised to have the nearly 1,000-page measure read before a final vote on passing it can happen.
“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,” Trump said on Truth Social early Sunday.
“They, along with all of the other Republican Patriots who voted for the Bill, are people who truly love our Country!”
Trump has lobbied for House and Senate Republicans to fast-track the legislation so it lands on his desk by his self-imposed July 4 deadline.
ADVERTISEMENTThe measure would make Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent, end taxation on tips and overtime, boost border security funding and scrap green-energy tax credits passed during the Biden administration.
The legislation would also have to raise the debt ceiling by roughly $5 trillion in order to cram in all the provisions.
Trump warned potential dissenters earlier Saturday that refusal to support his bill would be an “ultimate betrayal” – later lashing out at Tillis on social media for making a “big mistake” and threatening to primary him for turning his back on the spending bill.
“Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against ‘Senator Thom’ Tillis,” the commander in chief posted on Truth Social as the vote stalled late Saturday night.
“I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
After the vote passed, the president also hurled criticism at Sen. Paul, the other Republican holdout.
