The Senate is taking a prolonged procedural vote dragging past a third hour during a rare Saturday evening session as Republicans struggled to advance President Donald Trump’s package of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds by his July Fourth deadline.
The proceedings came to a standstill and Vice President JD Vance arrived at the Capitol to break a potential tie. Tense scenes were playing out in the chamber as senators huddled in negotiations, and then broke off for private meetings. Several Republican senators were registering their opposition to proceeding.
Republicans are using their majorities in Congress to push aside Democratic opposition, but they have run into a series of political and policy setbacks. Not all GOP lawmakers are on board with proposals to reduce spending on Medicaid, food stamps and other programs as a way to help cover the cost of extending some $3.8 trillion in Trump tax breaks.
“It’s time to get this legislation across the finish line,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., as the session was underway.
Ahead of the expected roll call, the White House released a statement of administrative policy saying it “strongly supports passage” of the bill. Trump himself was at his golf course in Virginia on Saturday with GOP senators posting about the visit on social media.

Well that article aged well.
Lara Trump.
I reckon Lara would be good as a native of the sttae...but she has her own million dollar stint lined up at Fox News...the question is would she give up her lucrative career she has worked so hard to obtain (”My View with Lara Trump”)
IMHO she would make a really outtanding Senator.She has the name recognition and campaign work record, as well as Republican Party leadership experience.
If I had to bet, I would bet that she will opt to serve her country.
