Trump celebrates Senate passage of 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
Sens. Thom Tillis, N.C.; Susan Collins, Maine; and Rand Paul, Ky.; joined Democrats in opposing the bill.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday celebrated the Senate's passage of the "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act", paving the way for the House and upper chamber to approve a final version and send the landmark legislation to his desk.
"Almost all of our Great Republicans in the United States Senate have passed our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,'" he posted on Truth Social. "It is no longer a “House Bill” or a “Senate Bill”. It is everyone’s Bill. There is so much to be proud of, and EVERYONE got a major Policy WIN — But, the Biggest Winner of them all will be the American People, who will have Permanently Lower Taxes, Higher Wages and Take Home Pay, Secure Borders, and a Stronger and More Powerful Military."
"Additionally, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Benefits are not being cut, but are being STRENGTHENED and PROTECTED from the Radical and Destructive Democrats by eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse from those Programs," he added.
The bill narrowly passed the upper chamber, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the 50-50 tie. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, broke with other GOP holdouts at the last minute to put the legislation over the top.
Sens. Thom Tillis, N.C.; Susan Collins, Maine; and Rand Paul, Ky.; joined Democrats in opposing the bill.
Trump also urged the House to band together to swiftly approve the final version and pass it before July 4.
"We can have all of this right now, but only if the House GOP UNITES, ignores its occasional 'GRANDSTANDERS' (You know who you are!), and does the right thing, which is sending this Bill to my desk," he added. "We are on schedule — Let’s keep it going, and be done before you and your family go on a July 4thvacation. The American People need and deserve it. They sent us here to, GET IT DONE!"
