Trump admin live updates: Senate to begin ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ vote-a-rama Monday

House GOP leaders have announced that the earliest vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” will take place on Wednesday morning, as they aim to meet a self-imposed Independence Day deadline. Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s office sent out a notice to lawmakers on Sunday night, informing them that votes are expected as early as 9 a.m. on July 2nd.

Members have been advised that they will receive 48 hours’ notice before the vote is called, giving them ample time to review the bill text. They will then have 72 hours to thoroughly examine the contents of the bill before casting their votes.

Before the House can hold a floor vote on the megabill, several steps need to be completed. The Senate must first pass the bill and send it back to the House. The Rules Committee will then convene to advance the bill to the floor, a process expected to occur as early as Tuesday.

Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leaders have been working diligently over the weekend to secure the necessary votes. Despite some opposition from lawmakers, Johnson is working to ensure that the bill garners enough support to pass. California moderate Republican Rep. David Valadao has expressed concerns about the Medicaid changes in the Senate bill and has stated that he will vote “no” on the final bill if those provisions remain unchanged.

Other conservative lawmakers, such as Reps. Chip Roy, Josh Breechen, and Eric Burlison, have also voiced their opposition to certain aspects of the Senate’s version of the bill. They have raised concerns about major changes, deficits, and potential violations of the House framework.

In an effort to maintain party unity, House GOP leaders have instructed members not to publicize their concerns with the bill. Despite these challenges, Republican leaders are pushing forward with the goal of passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill” before the Independence Day deadline.

The House GOP’s efforts to move forward with the megabill demonstrate their commitment to advancing key legislative priorities and meeting important deadlines. As the Senate continues to work on the bill, all eyes will be on the House as they prepare for a crucial vote on Wednesday morning.
