Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Senate Republicans Pass Trump's Tax and Spending Bill
Caption: US Senate Republicans Pass Trump’s Tax and Spending Bill. After lengthy debates, Republicans in the US Senate have narrowly passed Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending bill, clearing a significant hurdle. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was approved with a 50-50 vote, forcing Vice President JD Vance to cast the decisive tie-breaking vote. The bill now heads back to the House, where it faces more opposition. Earlier, House Republicans passed a similar version by just one vote. Trump had set a deadline of July 4th to finalize the bill, pushing for its swift approval. While the bill's passage was met with applause from Senate Republicans, disagreements over the deficit, social programs, and spending levels caused tension within the party. Key to securing the bill's approval was Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, who, despite concerns over Medicaid cuts in her state, supported the bill. Murkowski described the process as rushed, but her vote made the final tally possible, enabling Vance to cast the deciding vote.
