Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote.
The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future.
