Senate GOP pushes Trump budget framework through after marathon vote series

The Senate approved a budget framework supporting President Trump’s agenda after lengthy voting. The decision came despite Democratic opposition and concerns from some Republicans about the budget methods used.

• The Senate passed the framework with a 51 to 48 vote mostly along party lines, with Senators Collins and Paul voting against it.

• This budget would increase the debt ceiling by up to $5 trillion and make Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent, treating them as extensions of current policy to avoid adding to the deficit.

• The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, emphasized the resolution as a step towards making tax cuts permanent and investing in national security.

• The voting process, known as "vote-a-rama," allowed multiple amendments, but none were adopted.

• Notable amendments included proposals to raise the federal minimum wage and limit Trump’s tariffs, which Democrats criticized the Republicans for not supporting.

• Some Republican senators expressed caution about using the method to score the budget, calling it potentially unwise.

• House Republicans have passed a similar budget framework, but disagreements remain about how to proceed with reconciliation, especially regarding tax cuts.

• Trump backed the new framework, claiming it could be a significant legislative achievement.

The approval of the Trump budget framework marks a critical step in advancing Republican goals. However, its future faces uncertainties due to differing opinions within the House and the ongoing legality challenges against Trump's tariffs.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
