The Republican-controlled US Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s domestic policy package with a 51-50 vote, aided by Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote. Key votes included Senator Lisa Murkowski, who supported the bill despite concerns about social safety net cuts, and Senators Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins, who opposed it due to deficit concerns and Medicaid cuts. The bill now heads to the House, where it faces potential changes and a July 4 deadline. Senator Susan Collins opposed the bill due to concerns about Medicaid eligibility changes, contrasting with Rand Paul’s opposition based on spending and reform issues.
