 Live updates: Hawley a ‘yes,’ Tillis a ‘no’ on Trump megabill as Senate eyes afternoon vote
by The Hill Staff - 06/28/25 2:42 PM ET

The Senate on Saturday is eyeing an afternoon procedural vote to advance President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” after two key holdouts changed their vote.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R) is the first GOP holdout to announce he will back the latest form of the bill despite previously expressing concern about deep cuts to Medicaid. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she will vote for the measure to proceed, but said she will propose several amendments to change the bill.

Meanwhile, North Carolina’s Thom Tillis (R) said he would vote against the legislation on Saturday. That makes three Republican “no” votes for the bill — the maximum votes that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) can afford to lose.

Thune on Friday noted that the schedule could still be subject to change and called the vote “aspirational” as internal squabbles and parliamentarian rulings cast doubt on its passage ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline.

”All of it depends on …[we’ve] got a few things we’re waiting on, outcomes from the parliamentarian. If we can get some of those questions, issues landed then my expectation is at some point, yeah, tomorrow we’ll be ready to go,” Thune told reporters.

It is still unclear whether Republicans have enough support to advance the bill and what the final reconciliation package even looks like.

Trump opted to stay in Washington to focus on getting the GOP megabill closer to the finish line. As of midday Saturday, he is at his golf course in Virginia.

The crucial weekend on Capitol Hill comes after the Trump administration received a major victory with the Supreme Court’s decision to effectively block judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.

For all the latest updates follow along below.

BREAKING: I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor

Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill

So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor

We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it

Key GOP senator defects on crucial vote, imperiling Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' in narrow majority

A vulnerable Senate Republican put his foot down against President Donald Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" over concerns of deep Medicaid cuts inside the megabill.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital that he would not support the measure through a procedural hurdle necessary to kick off a marathon of debate and amendment voting that would eventually culminate in the measure’s final passage..............

Let Spartacus read it.  He has practice for wasting the senates time and should be rested and ready.

Why in tarnation would it take 15 hours to read a bill, ANY bill? My frustration level is at an all-time high with Congress and Trump. I thought this overbloated spending crap was going to end.

You're everywhere I go, I am not alone
You call me as Your own to know You and be known.
You are holy!
And I fall down on my knees.
I can feel Your presence here with me.
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty,
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch.
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love.

Now, if our limp wicked GOP doesn't force a floor bill reading of every future major dim legislation?   Should require auto-primary-ing

Democrats are showing on the floor through parliamentary inquiries the hypocrisy of what Republicans are trying to do here in the Senate.

We’re exposing how Republicans are trying to hide the true cost of their billionaire giveaways from the American people.

We’re demonstrating how they’re trying to pass the most expensive bill in US history to give tax breaks away to billionaires while taking away Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and good-paying jobs from millions.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
