The Senate voted 51-49 on June 28, 2025, to advance President Trump's comprehensive spending legislation to floor debate after a prolonged procedural session. Two Republican senators, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky, joined Democrats in opposing the measure, while Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson initially voted against it before changing his position. Vice President JD Vance was present at the Capitol prepared to cast a potential tie-breaking vote.
