Senate Advances Trump’s Budget Framework

The U.S. Senate has successfully pushed through a budget resolution aligned with President Trump's economic agenda, marking a significant step towards implementing his proposed tax cuts and policy changes. The marathon voting session, which extended into the early hours, showcased the GOP's determination to advance Trump's framework despite opposition from Democrats.

The resolution, passed under the reconciliation process, allows for the passage of budget-related legislation with a simple majority, bypassing the usual 60-vote threshold required to overcome a filibuster. This move is seen as a strategic effort to fast-track Trump's economic policies, including significant tax reforms aimed at stimulating growth.

Critics argue that the budget could lead to increased deficits and favor the wealthy, while supporters believe it will spur economic activity and job creation. The resolution now heads to the House, where further debates and amendments are expected before it can be signed into law by President Trump.
