The Senate, under GOP leadership, approved a budget framework that aligns with President Donald Trump’s legislative priorities, which includes a permanent extension of the tax cuts enacted in 2017 and allocates $175 billion for border security.The resolution was passed with a vote of 51-48 following an extensive “vote-a-rama” session, during which Senators Rand Paul and Susan Collins voted against the proposal.Republican senators highlighted that the forthcoming tax and spending legislation would not reduce benefits for Medicaid or Medicare. The objective of the budget resolution is to circumvent the filibuster, allowing it to be passed with a simple majority through the process of budget reconciliation.Certain Republicans, including Paul, expressed opposition to the proposal due to apprehensions regarding a $5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. The Senate’s proposed bill has the potential to increase the deficit by up to $5.8 trillion, which raises fiscal concerns among House Republicans who are wary of deficit spending.
