Trump’s sweeping tax cut, spending account cleans the first US Senate barrier

• Procedural votes make up the overnight stage.
• The changes made to Medicaid, State and local tax provisions.
• The non -profit team says Bill will add $ 4 trillion to debt.

Washington: The US Senate went on Saturday on Saturday, with billionaire Elon Musk warning that the draft legislation would “destroy millions of jobs” and “cause huge strategic damage” in the United States.

Musk hit the plan as “completely crazy and destructive”, saying that he delivered subsidies to outdated industries, undermining those of the future.

His observations came after a basic procedural vote that passed 51-49, increasing the chances that legislators will be able to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the coming days, which is his top legislative priority.

The procedural vote, which will begin the debate on the 940 -page Megabill to finance the top immigration, borders, tax and military priorities of Trump, began after hours of delay.

He then remained open for more than three hours of stop, as three Republican senators – Thom Tillis, Ron Johnson and Rand Paul – joined the Democrats to oppose the law. Three others – Senators Rick Scott, Mike Lee and Cynthia Lummis – negotiated with Republican leaders at night in the hope of securing greater spending cuts.

Eventually, Wisconsin’s Senator Johnson turned his non -vote to YES, letting only Paul and Tilis oppose the Republicans.

Trump was watching the vote from Oval Office late at night, a senior White House official said.

Megabill will extend the 2017 tax cuts that were Trump’s main legislative achievement during his first term as president, reduced other taxes and boost spending on border military and security.

Non -profit analysts estimate that a taxpayer and Trump spending bill will add trillions to the $ 36.2 trillion debt.

The Democrats strongly opposed the bill, saying that his tax evidence will disproportionately benefit the rich at the expense of social programs based on lower income Americans.

Chuck Schumer, the senior Democrat of the Senate, demanded that the bill be read loudly before the debate was launched, saying that the Senate’s Republicans were trying to pass a “radical bill”.

“If the Senate Republicans will not tell the American people what is in this bill, then the Democrats are going to force this chamber to read it from beginning to end,” the New York Democrat said.
