Senate Voting Results on Trump's Legislation Package
In a closely contested vote, the United States Senate passed President Donald Trump's agenda bill on Tuesday, setting the stage for a significant decision in the House of Representatives. The bill, often referred to as Trump's "big, beautiful bill," includes extensions of the 2017 tax cuts, a no-tax policy on tips, overhauls of social safety-net programmes, new border and military spending, and an increase in the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
The Senate's approval of the bill was achieved by a narrow 51-50 margin, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. However, the journey does not end here. The bill's future now depends on the US House of Representatives' decision on the Senate's amendments.
The House of Representatives will have the opportunity to approve or reject the Senate's amendments, a vote on which is yet to be announced. The GOP's slim majority in the House is at risk, and the bill is seen as a significant legislative achievement for Republicans as they head into the midterms.
The Senate's vote was split along party lines, with all Democrats voting against the legislation. Three Republican senators - Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis - also voted against the bill. The Senate held a marathon voting session on amendments to the bill, with numerous amendments being considered.
The bill's passage through the Senate follows a weekend of negotiations. The House of Representatives will now take up the bill, with the final say on the amendments resting in their hands. The specific content or outcome of the House vote on the amended Senate bill from Trump's agenda is not available at this time, and further sources would be required for detailed information on this matter.

The House of Representatives will need to address the Senate's amendments to President Donald Trump's agenda bill, as their approval or rejection of these amendments will significantly impact the bill's policy-and-legislation. After the Senate passed the bill by a narrow margin, the spotlight now shifts to the general-news surrounding the bill's progress in the House of Representatives.
