Senate GOP pushes Trump budget framework through after marathon vote...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

80% : Trump expressed support for the Senate framework earlier this week, saying at an unrelated event, "If we get this done, it'll be the most incredible bill ever passed in the history of our Congress."
62% : Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said, "The American people gave us a mission and a mandate: secure borders, lower taxes, affordable energy, peace through strength, and, of course, efficient, effective government.
61% : "This resolution is the first step toward a final bill to make permanent the tax relief we implemented in 2017 and deliver a transformational investment in our border, national, and energy security - all accompanied by substantial savings measures and commonsense reforms to our government," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-SD., said on Friday evening.
42% : The Senate passed a framework for a sweeping bill promoting President Donald Trump's agenda after an hourslong series of amendment votes during which Democrats sought to put Republicans on record on issues like tariffs and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
39% : Some notable measures, however, included an amendment by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to raise the federal minimum wage to $17 over a period of five years, an amendment by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY., to limit many of Trump's tariffs, and a bipartisan amendment aimed at blocking the reconciliation bill from making cuts to Medicaid.
32% : It would also make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent by using what's called a current policy baseline that Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-SC., decides.
30% : " The budget would address border funding for the Trump administration as well as extend the hallmark tax cuts Trump passed in 2017.
6% : "Tonight, Senate Democrats gave Senate Republicans the chance to hit the kill switch on Donald Trump's tariffs on DOGE, on the attacks against Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid," Schumer said after the vote.
