President Donald Trump is absolutely elated after the Republican Party in the Senate votes 51-49 to advance his “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” The news arrives after House Republicans narrowly passed a version of the bill in May.
Late Saturday night (June 28), Donald Trump’s controversial “One Big, Beautiful Bill” passed a key Senate vote 51-49. Only two Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against the bill, sparking a marathon 20-hour debate on the legislation.
Before passing, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) flipped his vote form a “no” to a “yes” in a dramatic fashion. In a statement, he said that the bill is a “necessary first step” to fiscal sustainability and cleaning up the mess left by the Joe Biden administration.

In a post on X, Sen. Ron Johnson wrote:
“Biden and the Democrats left behind enormous messes that we are trying to clean up – an open border, wars, and massive deficits. After working for weeks with President Trump and his highly capable economic team, I am convinced that he views this as a necessary first step and will support my efforts to help put America on a path to fiscal sustainability.”
Speaking against the bill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), was among the Democrats against what he called a “radical” bill. In a statement, he wrote:
“Senate Republicans are scrambling to pass a radical bill, released to the public in the dead of night, praying the American people don’t realize what’s in it. If Senate Republicans won’t tell the American people what’s in this bill, then Democrats are going to force this chamber to read it from start to finish.”

Although the bill was advanced by the Republicans in the House and Senate, the legislation will not immediately be debated praises to Senate Democrats planning to force the Republicans to read the entire, 940-page, piece of legislation on the Senate floor.
While posting a video to her X account, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed Democrats were holding the floor “all night.” She urged, “We need to use every single second we can to fight back against Trump’s bill.”
Meanwhile, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said he was “proud” to work with Donald Trump on the bill. He said he was happy to “put our nation on a path to balance the budget after years of Democrats’ reckless spending.” He added, “We will deliver on President Trump’s agenda and continue Making America Great Again!”

They, along with all of the other Republican Patriots who voted for the Bill, are people who truly love our Country!
As President of the USA, I am proud of them all, and look forward to working with them to GROW OUR ECONOMY, REDUCE WASTEFUL SPENDING, SECURE OUR BORDER, FIGHT FOR OUR MILITARY/VETS, ENSURE THAT OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM HELPS THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT, PROTECT OUR SECOND AMENDMENT, AND SO MUCH MORE.
