How Every Senator Voted on the G.O.P. Megabill

The Senate voted 51 to 50 to pass the Republicans’ major tax and domestic policy bill, which President Trump wants on his desk by Friday, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. The bill would extend and expand tax cuts and provide new funding for border security, immigration enforcement and the military. It would be partially paid for by cuts to Medicaid, food aid benefits, student aid and clean energy programs, but it would still add trillions to deficits over the next decade.

The House passed its own version of the legislation in May, but the Senate changed several critical provisions, and the final package will need to go back to the House for approval. Some of those changes were made to conform with the Senate’s complex rules for budget reconciliation — the process Republicans are using to pass the bill with a simple majority and avoid a Democratic filibuster.

To pass the bill with a simple majority, Senate Republicans could lose the support of no more than three of their members. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has pledged not to support the bill because it includes a $5 trillion debt limit increase. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who has also expressed opposition to the bill, announced on Sunday that he would not seek re-election after Mr. Trump threatened to support a primary challenger against him.
