<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC ">The Senate is plowing ahead toward a final vote on President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tax and immigration bill, as Republicans rush to get it across the finish line by July 4.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The self-imposed deadline by Trump meant a rare weekend session for lawmakers, one filled with partisan drama and some GOP infighting on the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">On Monday morning, senators began a &#8220;vote-a-rama&#8221; &#8212; votes on proposed amendments to the megabill.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">There is no limit to the number of amendments lawmakers can seek. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the chamber&#8217;s top Democrat, promised his party would bring amendment after amendment during the marathon session. Democrats forced a reading of the 940-page bill over the weekend, which took nearly 16 hours.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Every senator will soon have an opportunity to reject this nonsense and vote for common-sense budgeting. Americans will be watching,&#8221; Schumer said on Monday as he slammed Trump&#8217;s bill as a break for billionaires that will hurt working-class families.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended the bill as delivering Trump&#8217;s campaign promises to eliminate tax on tips and overtime pay while boosting spending for defense and border security.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;It&#8217;s been a long debate,&#8221; Thune said in his own floor remarks ahead of the votes on amendments. &#8220;I know people are weary. But at the end of the day, we want to get this done so that this country is safer and stronger and more prosperous, not only for today but for future generations of Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The vote-a-rama is the last hurdle before a vote on final passage of the bill in the Senate.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">There is little room for error in the Republican-controlled chamber. A procedural vote on Saturday night to open debate on the bill narrowly passed in a 51-49 vote after two Republican defections.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">GOS Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina voted against advancing the bill. Tillis railed against the changes to Medicaid in the bill, saying it would hurt his constituents and would represent a betrayal of Trump&#8217;s <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-medicaid-republican-bill-cut-benefits/story?id=121756481" target="_blank">promise not to touch the entitlement program</a> upon which millions of people rely for health care coverage.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Tillis&#8217; opposition drew Trump&#8217;s ire, with the president threatening to support a primary challenger to the two-term senator. Tillis then suddenly announced he would not seek reelection, saying later he texted Trump on Saturday night suggesting he &#8220;probably needed to start looking for a replacement.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;I respect President Trump. I support the majority of his agenda, but I don&#8217;t bow to anybody. When the people of North Carolina are at risk. And this bill puts them at risk,&#8221; Tillis said.</p>

<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">What&#8217;s next for OBBB in the House?</h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">If the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; passes in the Senate, it will have to go back to the House for members to consider the changes made to the bill.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">House Republican leaders say Wednesday is the earliest chance for a megabill vote.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Members are advised that votes are now expected in the House as early as 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 2. Please stay tuned to future updates for additional information regarding this week&#8217;s schedule,&#8221; a notice from Majority Whip Tom Emmer&#8217;s office said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Republican leaders have told members they will receive 48 hours notice before a vote is called and will have 72 hours to review the bill text.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The House passed the Trump megabill by just one vote back in May. The Senate version of the bill will face an uphill battle in the House, given the GOP&#8217;s razor-thin majority.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">California moderate Republican Rep. David Valadao said he will vote no given the Medicaid changes in the Senate bill. Several conservatives, including Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Josh Breechen of Oklahoma and Eric Burlison of Missouri have also expressed opposition to the Senate’s version of the bill.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders worked through the weekend to lock down the votes even as several lawmakers have expressed opposition to the Senate’s version, which is still not finalized. Johnson can only afford to lose 3 defections if all members are voting and present.</p>
