Senate holds a 'vote-a-rama' to advance $340 billion budget for Trump's agenda

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : But on Wednesday, Trump gave a full-throated endorsement to the House's strategy, taking to Truth Social to say he wanted "ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL" and urging the Senate to pump the brakes on their two-bill reconciliation push.
55% : Nothing would please me more than Speaker [Mike] Johnson being able to put together the bill that President Trump wants," Graham said on the Senate floor Thursday, before voting began.
33% : In the House, conservatives are demanding steep spending cuts while more moderate Republicans are getting skittish due to potential cuts to Medicaid.
27% : One amendment proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., would have prohibited the bill from cutting taxes for the wealthy if even $1 is cut from Medicaid, a health care program for low-income Americans.
26% : Trump has endorsed the House version -- what he calls "one big, beautiful bill" -- but GOP senators have indicated that their version could be a fallback plan if the House blueprint fails.
21% : And it calls for expanding the military by $150 billion, even as Trump and Elon Musk say they want to cut costs at the Pentagon.
