Republicans face critical week on Trump megabill

by Al Weaver - 06/16/25 6:04 AM ET

President Trump and Senate Republicans are facing a crucial week in their push to enact the mammoth bill containing their domestic agenda.

GOP leaders are hoping to unveil text this week that contains some of the thorniest issues they’ve been trying to work out. And the coming days could prove critical for winning over the holdouts whose support will be necessary to pass the legislation.

The crunch comes amid increasing skepticism that the conference will meet its ambitious July 4 deadline.

“This next week will probably be make or break,” said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), one of the remaining holdouts.

The most anticipated item could arrive later Monday when the Senate Finance Committee is aiming to release its portion of the chamber’s text, which includes key sticking points like Medicaid cuts and provisions eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, two of Trump’s top campaign promises.

The panel held a call on Friday, a day after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo huddled with Trump at the White House. Early reports indicated it would unveil the first part of text later in the day, but GOP leaders ended up holding off.

I'm pretty sure petty Rand Paul will be a "No" vote.
