Reporter's Notebook: Why the Senate is unlikely to debate the 'big, beautiful bill' until next week
Fox has learned it is doubtful that Senate Republicans will put the "big, beautiful bill" on the floor for debate and a vote this week.That will likely wait until the week ofJune 22. This potentially jeopardizes final passage of the measure through the Senate and House byJuly 4.The Senate Finance Committee is expected to release its text of the bill as early as Monday. That section of the legislation is the most expansive and probably the most controversial. Key tax provisions like SALT (state and local tax reductions), potential spending cuts and changes to Medicare and Medicaid all appear in this section of the legislation.SENATE GOP CAREFULLY WEIGHING CONTROVERSIAL TAX PROVISIONS BEFORE BRINGING BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL TO THE FLOORSenators and Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough will then begin the process of weeding out provisions that do not comport with strict Senate Budget provisions. Thats why the plan probably isnt ready for debate and a "vote-a-rama" until the week after next.If the Senate advances the bill, the House will have a tight window to either accept the Senate changes and green-light the billbefore July 4 or bounce it back to the Senate with yet another set of changes.ABOUT 60 PEOPLE ARRESTED AFTER VETERANS' ANTI-ICE DEMONSTRATION IN WASHINGTON, DC, POLICE SAYSuch a scenario would most certainly stretch out the process beyond theJuly 4 deadline. It would also compel the Senate to take a fourth vote-a-rama in just a matter of months. Thats where the Senate votes for hours on end with one roll call after another.
