The Senate prepared for a significant vote on Republicans' budget plan amidst a lengthy session of votes known as vote-a-rama, which was framed by procedural motions and speeches in an mostly empty chamber. Democrats aimed to articulate their opposition to President Trump's fiscal agenda, with Senator Chuck Schumer emphasizing the need to unveil how Republican strategies favor billionaires over Americans' interests. The passage of the budget resolution is critical for advancing the president's policies, but it faces challenges due to diverging Republican strategies within the House and Senate.
In a chamber where the average age is 65, the all-nighter brought senators to the floor for a binge of procedural motions and floor speeches.
Senator Chuck Schumer stated that Democrats will hold the floor all day and night to expose Republican plans to cut taxes for billionaires.
This is going to be a long, drawn-out fight as Republicans aim to pass their budget resolution amid competing strategies.
Passing a budget resolution is a key step toward enacting Mr. Trump's fiscal agenda, complicated by differences among House and Senate Republicans.
