The Senate has passed President Donald Trump’s massive budget bill, but now House Republicans face a difficult choice. The bill barely made it through the Senate, needing a tiebreaking vote from Vice President JD Vance to succeed. House Republicans are set to meet on Wednesday to decide whether to send the bill to Trump’s desk.
The Congressional Budget Office says the bill would add about $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. This is more than $500 billion higher than what the CBO estimated for the House version that passed in May. The price tag is causing problems for House Republicans who have spent their careers opposing high government spending.
