The Senate has approved a $340 billion budget blueprint to fund the first part of President Trump’s agenda. The resolution passed on a largely party-line vote of 52 to 48 after a marathon overnight voting session known as a “vote-a-rama.” It includes $175 billion for border operations and mass deportations, as well as $150 billion in new Department of Defense spending. This comes after the House Republicans unveiled a draft budget proposing $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, including to Medicaid and food assistance.
