Senate Republicans are working on consolidating President Donald Trump’s agenda into a single comprehensive bill, transforming the House’s megabill into legislation that can successfully pass through the Senate. Recommended VideosAccording to MSNBC, Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s recent strategic maneuver has increased the likelihood of pushing through more policy projects from the House’s “big, beautiful bill” than previously anticipated. This development came through a series of 10 votes last week, where Thune successfully circumvented the Senate parliamentarian’s authority regarding California’s electric vehicle mandate.
