423_July 2nd_Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts bill

The Senate is expected to work through the weekend to meet President Donald Trump's July 4th deadline of passing his tax breaks and spending cuts package.

There has been Democrat opposition and not all Republicans are on board with proposals to reduce spending on medicaid, food stamps and other programs.

The 940-page bill was released just before midnight Frdiay.

Even with a go-ahead to begin the debate on the legislation, Any passage would still be days away.

Then the bill would need to return to the House for a final round of votes before it could reach Trump's desk.
