WATCH LIVE: Debate begins on GOP's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' after Senate Dems force floor reading

Senate Democrats forced a floor reading of the GOP's 940-page "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" as a way to slow down the process of passage.

The full bill reading went on for about 16 hours.

The Senate released a revised version of the House-passed version of the bill late on Friday night.

Republicans are using the budget reconciliation tool to avoid the 60-vote threshold normally required to pass legislation. Both parties have utilized the same strategy in the past.

The bill passed a procedural hurdle on Saturday 51-49.

The floor reading of the bill took place on Sunday in the Senate.

Debate has now started on the legislation. Up to 20 hours of debate will be allowed.

The Congressional Budget Office released a new estimate of the bill on Sunday, which concluded that the legislation would raise the national debt by $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years. The CBO has also estimated that 11.8 million could lose health insurance.
