While millions of Americans prepared for Independence Day festivities, Senate Republicans stayed in session to advance President Trump’s signature 'Big, Beautiful Bill'. Late on June 28, GOP senators secured just enough votes to clear the bill’s first major hurdle, sending it to the next legislative stage.
The weekend push highlights the high-stakes race against the July 4th break. With lawmakers eager to head home, party leaders dialed up talks, huddling in committee rooms and holding marathon sausage-making sessions to keep the momentum alive.
Next up, the bill returns to the House for final approval. Lawmakers face a tight deadline to reconcile differences and deliver a legislative win before fireworks light up the sky.
As the holiday approaches, all eyes are on Congress to see if the Big, Beautiful Bill will survive the home stretch or stall in the dash for July 4th.
