Senate Passes Trump's Agenda Budget Blueprint After Late-Night Voting Session
|
[THEEPOCHTIMES] The U.S. Senate in the early morning hours of April 5 approved the budget blueprint to advance President Donald Trump
 ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's agenda after a marathon voting session.
Under the rules of the reconciliation process, which is being used to pass the sweeping package, all amendments must be considered—leading to voting sessions that last well into the night, known as a ''vote-a-rama.''
This time was no different, as the long vote series began in the evening on April 4 and continued into the early hours of Saturday. Lawmakers finally advanced the resolution in a 51-48 vote, which fell mostly party lines, with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky both voting against.
The all-night session included votes on Democratic amendments that targeted Trump's tariffs, the potential impact of the budget bill on the federal deficit, and seeking to limit tax cuts for the wealthy in the bill. They all failed.
With its passage by the Senate, the budget resolution—which resulted from weeks of bicameral negotiations—heads to the House.
Both chambers will need to pass the measure to move on to the next stage of the reconciliation process.
There are already warning signs in the lower chamber, where House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) oversees a slim and ideologically diverse Republican conference, that the Senate blueprint could face hurdles.
