Senate Republicans release 940-page bill for Trump’s agenda as they race to vote this weekend
Washington – Moments before midnight, Republican leaders of the Senate issued their text 940 pages invoice Friday, with the aim of starting votes on Saturday.
The lawmakers of the Republican Party are racing to pass the comprehensive package of President Donald Trump’s work schedule by a deadline imposed on July 4, but he still faces obstacles along the way. It is unclear whether the Senate Republicans have enough votes to start the debate about it.
Legislation will extend Trump’s tax cuts in 2017, and taxes prefer advice and additional work. It includes a batch of $ 150 billion for military spending this year, as well as an increase of federal funds to carry out Trump’s collective deportations and an enforcement implementation schedule. It is partially pushing this with discounts to Medicaid and Snap and Clean Energy, although the legislation is likely to add to the national debt.
It also contains an increase of $ 5 trillion on the roof of the debt before the deadline in August to avoid the country’s obligations.
By a majority of 53-47 in the room, Republicans can only carry three splits to vote, without hope to win democratic support. Republicans seek to pass the bill through the budget settlement process, allowing them to overcome the 60 -year Senate threshold.
The majority leader of the Senate John Thun, Rurawi, aims to conduct the first test on the Mammoth package on Saturday, but he faces problems from Republicans in the rank and the file trying to pump the brakes in this process.
Senator Ron Johnson, R and Wisconsin, said during his appearance on Fox News on Saturday morning that he would vote against the initial proposal to start the debate about the bill so that he has more time to review it.
Johnson said: “We just got the bill, and I got my first version at about 1:23 am, this morning. About 300 rulings, through their number,” Johnson said. “We should not take Nancy Pelosi’s approach and pass this bill to know what is in it. We need to know exactly what is in it.”
Tell the Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky. , NBC News on Friday that it will oppose the bill, but it will reconsider if the Republicans strip the roof height. This is unlikely. “More more than a spending bill more than a bill that defines the debt problem,” said Paul, the only Senator of the Republican Party who voted against the procedure during all steps of the operation this year.
The GOP package prohibits the Medicaid Fund for the entities that provide abortion operations, including family planning, seeking to achieve priority for a long -term preservation. But this chase faced opposition from Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, so the ruling may show their voices.
Capitol left Friday night, Thun said he was not sure that Republicans had the sounds to advance in this procedure, but it was time to act.
“It is a process and we hope that the voices are there, but we will definitely not know until we get the vote,” said Thun.
Even if the package can pass its first obstacle on Saturday, it will remain a long way before it. There will be at least 10 hours of discussion before the Senators can start voting to the amendments, and Democrats threaten to impose reading the entire draft law. The house that His own version passed in MayYou will need to pass the Senate Bill before heading to the Trump office.
The leaders of the Republican Party are betting that the hesitant members will not vote to vote “a large and beautiful bill” for Trump when the payment comes. They said they might need to recruit the president to damage weapons and influence.
Senate legislation seeks to resolve the confrontation on local tax discount and local tax. It raises the current maximum of $ 10,000 to $ 40,000 for a period of five years-with a decrease of a decade in the version that was passed to the house-before it was reduced to $ 10,000. This represents a great privilege for Republicans at the Blue House who insisted on establishing the high maximum.
The draft law seeks to reduce the pain of Medicaid discounts on some service providers by establishing a rural hospital fund worth $ 25 billion over a period of five years. It includes work requirements and other new rules for the recipient to qualify.
Senate minority leader Chuck Shomer, DN.Y. , Draft law.
He said in a statement on Saturday: “At the request of Big Oil, at Dead of Night, Republicans in the Senate issued a new version of” Big and Beautiful Betrayal “that raises taxes on energy retrospectively.” “Republicans want to raise electrical bills and endanger hundreds of thousands of jobs, all so that they can give tax exemptions to billionaires.”
