Vice President JD Vance is once again coming to the Senate to break a deadlocked vote.
On Saturday evening, JD Vance made his way to the Capitol to potentially cast the tie-breaking vote for the Big Beautiful Bill.
Vance arrived after Republican Senators Ron Johnson, Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul voted no on the bill.

Per The Hill:
Vice President Vance has arrived at the Capitol.
Vance would be needed to break a 50-50 tie on the vote to advance the Trump megabill.
Republicans control 53 seats, and three GOP lawmakers had vowed to vote against advancing the measure.
Here’s a photo of the moment Vance walked through the doors:

Vance may not be able to cast the tiebreaking vote, considering five Republican senators are still set to vote.
The New York Times had the names of the five senators still left to vote:
