The GOP advances Trump’s main bill as the deadline of July 4

The Republicans of the Senate struck the president Donald Trump “Big and Belle Bill” through a procedural obstacle after hours of tense negotiations which question the fate of Megabill.

Speculations were running if the Republicans would be satisfied by the last edition of Mammoth Bill, which was published just before midnight on Saturday morning.

Almost all Republicans, except the senses. Thom Tillis, RN.C., and RAND PAULR-ky., All voted to unlock a debate on the 20-hour marathon on the bill. Head of the majority of the Senate John ThuneRs.d. could not afford to lose three votes.

Although successful, the vote of the line of the 51-49 party was not without drama. Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Has his vote from a “no” “yes” in a dramatic way, like him and meaning. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., And Mike Lee, Rutah, has made his way to the Senate floor accompanied by Vice-President JD Vance.

Vance was called in case it was necessary for a rupture vote, but only its negotiation services ended up being used.

No legislator wanted to be the fourth and last decisive vote to kill the bill. The Republican leaders kept the floor open for almost four hours during the negotiations, first on the Senate soil, then finally in Thune’s office, continued.

The bill will not be immediately debated thanks to the Senate Democrats plan to force reading the entire 940 -page legislative giant on the Senate soil – a decision that could drain several hours and go deep in the night.

The fate of Megabill, and if he could pass his first test, was at best troubled after the senators met in camera on Friday, and even during another lunch on Saturday.

The persistent concerns in the two chambers concerning Medicaid – in particular the tax rate of Medicaid suppliers and the effect of direct payments to the States – energy tax credits, tax deduction (salt) of the state and local and others turned out to be alcohol points which threatened the survival of the bill.

However, changes were made at the last minute to attack each other or respect the rules of the Senate. Indeed, the Senate parliamentarian has stripped numerous articles in the bill which had to be reworked.

The tax rate of the Medicaid supplier was largely maintained the same, except that its date of implementation has been raised per year. Also included as sweetener for legislators as a sense. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., And others were a stabilization fund for the $ 25 billion rural hospital over the next five years.

Collins said that it would support the bill by the procedural obstacle and noted that the rural hospital stabilization fund was a start, but that it will support the final adoption bill remains to be seen.

“If the bill is not yet modified, I will look at the bill, but I believe that this procedural vote to obtain the bill so that people can propose changes and debate it,” said Collins.

Tillis, who is also concerned about the changes to Medicaid and would like to see a return to the version of the GOP Chamber, said that he would not vote in favor of the bill during the final adoption.

The deduction of salt included in the version of the bill of the bill of the bill, but the $ 40,000 ceiling will remain intact for five years. After that, the ceiling will return to its current $ 10,000.

Other sweeteners, such as the expansion of derogations in nutritional services at Alaska and a tax reduction for the captains of whale, were also launched to obtain moderates like Murkowski on board with the bill.

Lee announced that he had withdrawn his disposition to sell open land, which proved to be a point of collision for the legislators of Montana and Idaho.

However, the Republicans who are not satisfied with the current state of the bill will use the next “voting-a-rama”, when legislators will be able to offer an unlimited number of modifications, to try to change as much as possible before the final passage.

Democrats, however, will use the process to inflict as much pain as possible on the Republicans.

Once the amendment marathon is finished, which could be in the short hours of the Sunday morning, the legislators will move to a final vote to return the bill, which is an amendment to the version of the GOP of the Chamber of the “Grand and Beautiful Bill”, in the lower chamber.

From there, it is a dead sprint to obtain the package on the office of the president by July 4.

In a policy of administration obtained by Fox News Digital, Trump reported that he would sign the bill.

“President Trump is committed to keeping his promises,” said the note. “And not to adopt this bill would be the ultimate betrayal.”
