Trump's big tax bill moves ahead to potential changes in the Senate
(USA Today) WASHINGTON – House Republicans have done their job, narrowly passing President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and policy bill. Next up: the Senate.
When members of Congress return to Washington on June 2 after a weeklong break, the upper chamber will dig into the more than 1,000-page bill that would extend income tax cuts, implement new tax breaks for tipped wages and overtime, overhaul Medicaid and food stamps, and put more money toward Trump's deportation plan.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has urged his Senate counterparts to "make as few modifications to this package as possible," but senators have other plans. At least a dozen senators have indicated they would like to tweak the package before they sign off on it.
Trump ally Elon Musk said he's "disappointed" in the House-passed package, which would increase the deficit and "undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing." Speaking at the White House on May 30, Trump said he hopes the Senate will slash taxes even more than the reductions included in the House-passed bill.
