President Donald Trump hailed the passage of his “Big, Beautiful Bill” following a marathon four-hour vote in the Senate that will now allow the measure to advance for debate.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who notably changed his vote from ‘no’ to ‘yes,’ stated that the massive bill represents a “necessary first step” toward fiscal sustainability and addressing the challenges left by the Biden administration.

“Biden and the Democrats left behind enormous messes that we are trying to clean up – an open border, wars, and massive deficits,” Johnson said. “After working for weeks with President Trump and his highly capable economic team, I am convinced that he views this as a necessary first step and will support my efforts to help put America on a path to fiscal sustainability.”

The vote was 51-49 along party lines, with only Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposing the start of a marathon 20-hour debate on the bill. Republicans have a 53-47 seat majority in the chamber.

Trump took to his Truth Social platform following the vote to criticize the two Republicans for voting no.

“Thom Tillis has hurt the great people of North Carolina. Even on the catastrophic flooding, nothing was done to help until I took office. Then a MIRACLE took place! Tillis is a talker and complainer, NOT A DOER! He’s even worse than Rand ‘Fauci’ Paul!” Trump wrote.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claimed the measure is “radical.”
