Legislators across the aisle are reacting to the president Donald Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Bill” passed a major Senate vote Saturday night.
Senator Ron Wis. Biden gives medicine.
“Biden and Democrats left behind the huge chaos we were trying to clear up – an open border, war and a huge deficit,” Johnson said. “After working with President Trump and his highly capable economic team for weeks, I firmly believe he sees this as a necessary first step and will support my efforts to help the United States on the path of fiscal sustainability.”
The 51-49 votes were held along the party, with only Sens. ThomTillis, RN.C. and R-Ky. Rand Paul voted against unlocking the 20-hour marathon debate on the bill.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck SchumerDN.Y. is a Democrat who opposes what he calls “radical” bill.
“Senate Republicans are scrambling to pass a radical bill that dies at night, praying that the American people don’t realize what’s inside,” Schumer said in a statement. “If Senate Republicans don’t tell the American people what’s in the bill, then Democrats will force this chamber to read from beginning to end.”
