The Senate recently voted 51 to 50 to pass President Trump’s ambitious policy bill, a move that promises significant changes for both taxpayers and low-income Americans. Vice President JD Vance provided the crucial tiebreaking vote after three Republican senators—Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul—defected to the "no" side.

After a protracted debate lasting over 24 hours, this last-minute legislative win fuels questions about the Republican Party's future. According to initial budget analyses, the bill is projected to add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, while dramatically reducing tax revenue for years to come. Experts warn that this could lead to a severe debt crisis.

Among its key provisions, the bill extends approximately $3.8 trillion in tax cuts originally enacted during Trump’s first term in 2017, along with allocating billions for border security and military funding. However, it comes at a steep price for millions of low-income Americans, who may face significant financial losses from cuts to health insurance and other federal aid programs.

The next step for the legislation is a House vote that could take place as early as today, where Republicans have only a slim margin for dissent, needing to maintain party unity to pass the bill.
