Senate May Begin “Votorama” On Mega Budget Bill
The Senate may vote as early as tonight (Tuesday) on a megabill designed to enact a big part of President Trumps’s agenda. As Republicans make use of what’s known as the reconciliation process Democrats won’t be able to stop passage, but are expected to subject the contents to long debate. They’ll also introduce a long string of amendments that require votes. The bill icludes $175 BILIION for the border and $150 BILLION for defense. Senate Republicans are allowed two filibuster-free budget related bills under reconciliation, and hope to pass a second, dealing with other Trump priiorities later this year.
