Overview

• The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed the House in May and is now under debate in the Senate, where GOP leaders plan to adjust its provisions before a final vote.
• A Congressional Budget Office analysis found the bill’s proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and Affordable Care Act funding would leave 10.9 million fewer people with health insurance.
• Thirteen House Republicans sent a letter to Senate GOP leaders urging them to ease the 60-day phaseout for clean energy tax credits to protect thousands of jobs and projects.
• Hardline conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus have warned they will block the bill if the Senate restores or dilutes green energy cuts secured in the chamber’s version.
• Senate Republicans can afford only three defections to secure passage, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis and Josh Hawley among those expressing reservations.
