WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is taking a key procedural vote as Republicans race to pass President Donald Trump’s package of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds by his July Fourth deadline. But voting came to a standstill and Vice President JD Vance arrived at the Capitol to break a potential tie. Republicans are using their majorities in Congress to push aside Democratic opposition, but they’ve run into a series of setbacks. If the Senate is able to pass the package after a weekend of debate and votes still to come, the bill would need to return to the House for more votes before it could reach the White House.
