Vice President JD Vance, who arrived at the Capitol early Tuesday morning while the Senate works to pass the GOP megabill, told reporters that “we’re going to find out” if the chamber will finish pulling the legislation together after a “vote-a-rama” that continued through the night.
His arrival comes as Senate Republicans still do not have the votes to pass the “one, big, beautiful” bill being sought by President Donald Trump, and after the vice president on Saturday played a key role in bringing together enough votes to advance the bill to the Senate floor, reports The Hill.
Vance, a former senator, has also been successful since taking office in persuading Senate Republicans to vote on difficult issues.
Late Monday night, Vance called for senators to “pass the bill.”
He posted on X that he has seen many criticisms of the bill, but “most of them fail a very basic test: could those criticisms get 50 votes?”
