Us senate Approves Trump’s Sweeping Tax Cuts and Spending Bill, Sends It to House for Final Vote
On Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 1, 2025, U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) responds as Republican senators fight to enact U.S. President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending plan.
Washington, D.C. – July 1, 2025 — In a major legislative breakthrough, the U.S. Senate has passed former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, a cornerstone of the GOP’s 2025 economic agenda. The high-stakes legislation now heads to the House of Representatives for final approval.
The bill, which passed along party lines in a 51-49 vote, features deep tax reductions for individuals and corporations, alongside increased federal spending on infrastructure, defense, and select domestic programs — a combination Republicans argue will supercharge the U.S. economy.
Trump's Economic Vision Advances
Former President Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election in 2028 and remains the GOP’s most influential figure, has touted the legislation as a "game-changer" for working Americans and businesses alike.
“This bill means bigger paychecks, more jobs, and a stronger America,” Trump said in a statement. “We are cutting taxes and investing in our country — the American people win.”
Key Provisions of the Bill
- Corporate tax rate slashed from 21% to 17%
- Expanded child tax credit and middle-class deductions
- Increased military and border security funding
- $400 billion investment in roads, bridges, and energy infrastructure
- Caps on discretionary spending in other domestic sectors
Republicans celebrated the Senate victory as a major political and policy win, fulfilling campaign promises made during the 2024 elections. Senate Majority Leader John Thune praised the bill as a “bold step toward economic renewal.”
Democrats Push Back
Democrats, however, sharply criticized the measure, arguing it prioritizes corporations and the wealthy while ballooning the national debt.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted the bill, saying:
“This is a giveaway to billionaires, plain and simple. It threatens social programs and does little to help working families long term.”
Progressive senators warned that the tax cuts could lead to future budget cuts in healthcare, education, and social safety nets.
House Showdown Looms
The bill now moves to the House, where it faces a narrower GOP majority and more intense debate. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed confidence that the legislation would pass quickly.
Political analysts suggest moderate Republicans and some fiscally conservative lawmakers could seek last-minute changes to spending levels before giving their final approval.
If passed, this legislation would mark one of the most consequential fiscal overhauls in recent U.S. history, potentially reshaping the economy for years to come.
