Trump's tax, spending cuts bill clears key Senate vote 51-49 as Republicans race to pass it by July 4

Senate Republicans narrowly advanced President Trump's tax and spending bill, facing internal dissent and unified Democratic opposition. The bill, aiming to make Trump-era tax cuts permanent and boost national security funding, includes controversial cuts to Medicaid and food stamps.
