Earlier, we told you Leader John Thune said the Senate had reached a deal on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, and now that bill has passed the Senate.
Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.

The bill now returns to the House, where House Republicans say they want to get it done:

Others still had questions about provisions in the Senate bill:
Are illegals off Medicaid?

It’s missing some key elements that I was hoping for but it is a great start.

The process could become a game of political ping pong of the House makes changes to the Senate version.
For those wondering: it has to be sent back to the House now because of the changes that were made.

But the House may end up making further changes, and if that happens it'll have to be sent back to the Senate.
It's a game of ping pong, basically.
We don't have a timeline on when the House will take up the Senate version of the bill, yet.
If I'm honest, I wasn't very confident about this one.

But, once they booted out the A.I. moratorium, the vote chances started looking better and better.
Well done, @NRSC @SenateGOP @LeaderJohnThune @VP https://t.co/s6EYUuFA7B

Now to @SpeakerJohnson and House GOP and then to @POTUS
Let's get this DONE! https://t.co/JRcykWlKNB
We will keep you updated as the bill works its way through the House.
