The US Senate is conducting a marathon vote for a common budget that is crucial to President Donald Trump’s agenda, but the cost plan hangs in the balance after weeks of negotiations.

Republicans – who control both congress palaces – divide how much to reduce social assistance programs to extend tax breaks in the law on a large beautiful bill.

Meanwhile, former close apparatus of Donald Trump Elon Musk again attacks the legislation that the President’s President has sprinted to pass until July 4.

If the measures clear the Senate, it will have to return for another vote of the House of Representatives, who accepted its own version of the bill last month with one voice.

Currently, senators are arguing for or against the addition of amendments to the bill for nearly 1000 pages in a process called “vote-a-line”, which can lead to up to 20 hours of debate.

The session is expected to continue at night on Tuesday morning and legislation, if accepted, will also reduce some well -being programs and increase national debt.

Elon Musk has intensified his criticism of the US President’s tax and Bill’s expenses, condemning him as “insane.”

Currently, national debt is $ 36 trillion, according to the Ministry of Finance. If adopted, the bill will add 3.3 TTN to this debt, according to new estimates.

Musk again threatened to create a new political party.

Trump has proposed the so -called Ministry of Government Efficiency, Dog – which Musk uses to head – should consider the reduction of subsidies received by the companies of Tesla Executive Director.

“Elon can receive more subsidy than any human being in history, and without subsidies, Elon will probably have to close a store and return home in South Africa,” Trump wrote about his social platform for the truth.

On Monday, senators headed to the floor of the Capitol Chamber for various votes for amendment, after which they returned to their private meeting rooms, where they dumped complaints outside the reporters.

Amendment of Medicaid’s proposal proposal recently proposed by Florida Senator Rick Scott can cause approximately 20 million Americans to lose their health insurance coverageAccording to one assessment.

Watch: Why the Republican Senator Tom Tilis will not vote for Trump’s bill

“The thing that the bill (Scott) doesn’t do is to take effect until 2031. So I’m not sure how you can argue that tomorrow will expel all health insurance people,” said the leader of the majority in Senate John Tun.

Democrats, who have repeatedly condemned the bill, especially to reduce health insurance for millions of more, more Americans, are expected to use all 10 of their debates, while Republicans are probably gone.

Democrats Senator Adam Schiff called the bill “horrified” and told the BBC that he was not sure if the Republicans in the Senate would meet the Trump deadline on Friday.

The press secretary Carolyn Levitt said Trump was “confident” that the bill would be adopted and was still waiting for him on his desk until July 4.

On Sunday, the Democrats used a political maneuver to stop the progress of the bill, calling on the Senate staff to read all 940 pages of the voice bill, a process that took 16 hours.

There was weeks of public discussion and the Senate was closely moving on the budget bill with 51-49 votes over the weekend.

Two Republicans have come to Democrats in voting against the opening of a debate, arguing for more changes in legislation.

One of these Republicans, Senator from North Carolina Tom Tilice, announce your retirement After this vote, he said that the legislation had violated, promised that Trump and the Republicans had made the voters.

“Too many selected employees are motivated by a pure raw policy who really do not curses for the people who have promised to present on the traces of the campaign,” Tilis wrote in her message.

The White House reacts angrily to Tilli’s comments, as Levitt said that Tilis was “just wrong”.

Kentucky Rand Paul’s Republican Senator objected to the increase in debt and decreased Medicaid.

During the full vote of the Senate on the bill – it is expected early Tuesday morning – Republicans can only afford three defects so that the bill can cross.

If they lose three votes, Vice President JD Vance will have to vote.

The bill will then return to the House of Representatives, where the management advises a complete vote on the Senate’s bill to come on Wednesday morning.

The Republican Coach’s fiscal hawks for the Chamber’s freedom have threatened to torment the Senate version because of the budget disagreements.

The Senate’s proposal adds over $ 650 billion to the national deficit, the group in a social media publication said on Monday.

“This is not fiscal responsibility,” they said. “It’s not what we agreed.”

Democrats in both chambers largely objected to the reduction of costs and the proposed expansion of tax breaks.

Meanwhile, the Republican debate focuses on how much to reduce social assistance programs to extend $ 3,8TN (2.8TN) in Trump’s tax breaks.

The proposed cuts can lead to nearly 12 million Americans from their health insurance coverage and add a 3.3 TTN (2.4TN) debt, according to the Congress Budget Service, a non -party federal agency.
