Washington D.C. — Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial tax and spending bill has narrowly passed the Senate after hours of deadlock, internal party friction, and intense debate, according to the BBC.

Following over 24 hours of discussion, the bill — titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — saw an even split in votes between supporters and opponents. The deadlock was broken when Vice President JD Vance cast the decisive tie-breaking vote, enabling the bill to clear a major hurdle in the Senate.

The bill now heads back to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to face further opposition. Previously, it had passed the House by a razor-thin margin, with Republicans managing to secure just enough support.

Trump has given Congress a deadline of July 4 to send the finalized version of the bill to his desk for signing into law.

“The amended bill has passed,” announced Vice President Vance on Tuesday, prompting applause from Republican senators while Democrats, visibly disappointed, remained seated and shook their heads.

The bill had triggered internal rifts within the Republican Party over concerns related to national deficits, cuts to social programs, and overall spending levels.

Despite leadership efforts to maintain party unity, three Republican senators — Susan Collins (Maine), Thom Tillis (North Carolina), and Rand Paul (Kentucky) — voted against the bill.

However, after daylong negotiations, Republican leaders succeeded in securing support from Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who had previously withheld her vote due to concerns over Medicaid cuts in her state.

The bill’s passage marks a significant but contentious milestone in Trump's legislative agenda, and the debate over federal spending priorities is expected to intensify in the coming days.
