Trump’s sweeping economic package narrowly passed the Republican-controlled Senate on Tuesday, with Vice President JD Vance casting a tie-breaking vote.

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman on Tuesday voted against the GOP-backed “Big Beautiful Bill,” saying it “blows up debt, guts Medicaid and SNAP and hands tax breaks to the top 0.1%.”
