1. The Omnibus Budget Act: Senate Passage and Political Fallout
1.1. Narrow Senate Passage and Path to the House
Following a marathon overnight voting session, the Senate has narrowly passed a controversial omnibus budget bill, a cornerstone of the Trump administration’s agenda [1]. The final vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote to secure passage [2]. The bill’s success was reportedly clinched after Republican leadership made concessions to win the crucial vote of Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), a move critics allege was “bought” [3]. The legislation, which the White House has officially named the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” now moves to the U.S. House of Representatives, where its aggressive provisions have reportedly “shocked” House Republicans, who are said to be “fuming” over the final version [4, 5]. In a sign of the deep intra-party rifts, at least one Republican senator who voted for the bill is now publicly telling the House not to pass it [6].
