Senate advances Trump tax cut bill 51-49 after midnight drama
The Senate advanced the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on a 51-49 vote early June 28 after all-night debate that stretched through multiple procedural challenges. Vice President JD Vance broke a tie vote at one point to keep the bill moving. The bill included $2.1 trillion in net new debt, Medicaid work requirements, SNAP cuts, and extension of 2017 tax cuts. Two Republican senators, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted against final passage.
