Trump's tax reform bill was blocked late at night, three Republicans "turned against water", causing procedural vote to be deadlocked
According to Internet reports, according to the Wall Street Journal, late Saturday night local time, U.S. President Trump's tax and spending super bill was stuck in the Senate-some Republican members defected to oppose advancing the bill, and others within the party refused to vote in favor of controversial terms such as Medicaid and clean energy, making this landmark legislation in jeopardy in procedural voting. After the first round of procedural voting on the "Big and Beautiful" bill lasted about two hours, the vote count is currently fixed at 47 votes in favor and 50 votes against. Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Tom Tillis of North Carolina and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin collectively defected from the Republican camp and joined forces with Democrats to vote against it. Vice President Vance rushed to the Senate to cast a runoff vote, but with Florida Senators Rick Scott, Utah Mike Lee and Wyoming Cynthia Ramis yet to express their stance, whether Republican leaders can clear the first hurdle on Trump's agenda remains in doubt. Even if the pass is successful, this narrow victory already heralds a more severe legislative battle in the future.
