Trump admin live updates: Vance casts tie-breaking vote to pass megabill in Senate
After three days of debate and drama, the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s giant tax and immigration bill on Tuesday.
Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote after a 50-50 tally, with three Republicans voting against the sprawling measure.
The bill must now go to the House for final approval. But it could face some issues there, especially among GOP fiscal hawks, as the Senate version is projected to add roughly $1 trillion more to the deficit than what the House passed back in May.
Speaker Mike Johnson says House will start work ‘immediately’
Speaker Mike Johnson and top Republican leaders announced in a statement that the House will consider the bill “immediately for final passage” — with renewed intent to put the measure on President Trump’s desk by July 4.
“The House will work quickly to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill that enacts President Trump’s full America First agenda by the Fourth of July. The American people gave us a clear mandate, and after four years of Democrat failure, we intend to deliver without delay,” the leaders said.

“This bill is President Trump’s agenda, and we are making it law. House Republicans are ready to finish the job,” they added.
The House Rules Committee will convene at 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday to markup the bill and set parameters for floor debate and consideration of the bill.
Trump tells ABC he believes bill will ‘go very nicely’ in House
ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce pressed President Trump on House Republicans who say they are unhappy with the changes the Senate made to the bill.
“What is your message to those holdouts?” Bruce asked the president.
“Well, I just heard that about the Senate, and the bill just passed, and it tells you there’s something for everyone,” Trump said. “I mean, we have — it’s a great bill. There is something for everyone, and I think it’s going to go very nicely in the House. Actually, I think it will be easier in the House than it was in the Senate.”

ABC’s Bruce also followed up with asking Trump about the cuts to Medicaid that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects would cause 11.8 million Americans to lose their insurance.
Trump said he believed the amount of people who would lose coverage would be less than projected, but did not say where he was getting such data or analysis from.
“I’m saying it’s going to be a very much smaller number than that and that number will be waste, fraud and abuse,” he said.
‘Wow’: Trump reacts in real time to Senate passing his legislation
President Trump learned about the Senate passage of his domestic policy bill during a roundtable event as he toured the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida.
“I was also wondering how we doing, because I know this is prime time, it shows that I care about you, because I’m here and I probably should be there, but we do care,” Trump said.
Trump said that he will be going back to Washington to celebrate.

“We’re gonna finish over here, and then we’ll go over there. We’ll go back and celebrate the big, beautiful bill,” Trump said. Though notably, Democrats had the title “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” stricken just before the final vote.
“You sure that’s right?” Trump asked the reporter when informed of the results.
“Wow,” was Trump’s response when he was told the information was correct.
