Not a single Democrat voted for the ‘Big, Beautiful, Bill.’

President Trump, who just toured Alligator Alcatraz, was in Florida when he was informed that the Senate passed his agenda.

This is a huge victory!

But, it’s not over quite yet.

Now, the bill will move back to the House of Representatives for another round of approval before it can be sent to President Trump’s desk.

CBS News has more:

The vote came after the Senate worked through the weekend and into a scheduled recess to pass the bill, which now returns to the House for sign off. Mr. Trump has vowed to swiftly sign the measure, and pushed lawmakers to approve it by July 4.The legislation’s passage also marks a significant victory for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who worked to sway GOP holdouts to back the legislation amid opposition on multiple fronts that threatened to thwart the bill’s progress in recent days.

Known by the GOP as the “big, beautiful bill,” the legislation includes increased spending for border security, defense and energy production and trillions of dollars in tax cuts, partially offset by cuts to health care and nutrition programs. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the legislation would increase federal deficits by nearly $3.3 trillion over the next decade.

While some Republicans had taken issue with the legislation’s impact on the deficit, others cited concern with some of the steep cuts to Medicaid, which the CBO has said would leave millions without health coverage over the coming years. And with a 53-seat majority, Senate GOP leaders could only afford to lose three Republican votes, with Vance as a tie-breaker. But those concerns were not enough to defeat the legislation, and last-minute changes secured the support of Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, while apparently quelling other possible opponents to the bill.

Now, let’s hope that House Republicans can get this bill passed speedily and effectively…

President Trump previously said he wants the bill on his desk by Friday to be signed into law.

The New York Times noted:

House Democrats will hold a caucus meeting Tuesday night to discuss the Senate’s version of the Republican domestic policy bill, ahead of an expected vote as early as Wednesday.

Asked if House Republicans will be able to muster enough support within their party to send the tax and domestic policy bill to President Trump to be signed into law, Senator John Thune, the majority leader, said, “I’m hopeful that now, when it gets sent over there, as they deliberate about how they want to handle it, they’ll find the votes that are necessary to pass it, and let’s put it on the president’s desk.”
