Senate GOP enters marathon final test on Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’

By Thomas A. Smith

Senate Republicans are facing a marathon session Monday in order to pass President Trump s ambitious tax and spending package and meet the White House s end-of-week deadline to OK its top domestic agenda item. 

Senators will convene Monday morning for a lengthy vote-a-rama, during which lawmakers can offer an unlimited number of amendments that are related to the mammoth proposal. 

The hours-long voting session was expected to start overnight, but GOP leaders opted to push it until 9 a.m. EDT after a grueling weekend, which included Democrats forcing the Senate clerks to read all 940 pages of the bill. That process took nearly 16 hours to complete, and was followed by debate on the bill itself that lasted into Monday morning before the chamber finally recessed.
