The Republicans still complain that they cannot read the legislation when a democrat is in the White House, but now that Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office, he tries to rush into voting on a bill that moves the food and medical care of millions of people while it reduced taxes for the very rich.
The Democrats of the Senate want to ensure that the Republicans know what they vote on, they therefore plan to have the 1,100 pages of tax reductions for the rich bill read aloud on the Senate soil.
Burgess Everett de Semafor has published on X:
News: Schumer + Democrats plan that the Senate clerk will read the entire GOP reconciliation bill on the ground. No decision on the opportunity to do so. Senator Ron Johnson forced the clerks to read the whole ARP in 2021. He said this week that he had bought them a case of wine afterwards.
The decision of the Democrats would not be funny and the games.
The Democrats of the Senate would also stretch the work and delay the potential adoption of the Senate of Legislation.
Democrats succeed in making the Republicans work and reworking the bill because of the decisions of the parliamentarian, and they seem to withdraw all judgments to slow down this bill.
Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, told the Senate:
It was a fairly difficult week for Donald Trump’s so-called “big and beautiful bill”. As everyone who looks can say, things did not go as planned.
The bill was destroyed under its own weight. Delays have accumulated. And it is obvious that the big pieces of the republican conference do not like their own bill.
But of course, we hear that the Republicans can still try to put this legislation on the ground tomorrow. It is not real legislative. It is total precipitation work.
This is Donald Trump intimidating the Senate Republicans to have a bill adopted, no matter what is really there. And it is a republican leadership that will perhaps dare their own members – who are deeply worried about this bill – to oppose it to the ground.
Republicans still do not know if they have the votes to advance the legislationBut what is certain is that the Democrats do everything in their power to slow down this process.
