Republicans charge ahead on Trump budget, setting up marathon Senate votes
Fox News
Republicans started the process to pass a new version of President Donald Trump's budget, which specifically calls for resources for the southern border and extending the 2017 tax cuts.
The Senate agreed to the motion by a vote of 52 to 48, along party lines. The only exception was Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who voted against it. Paul has criticized the budget framework's provision on the debt ceiling. Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate.

The changes made by the Senate include raising the debt ceiling by up to $5 trillion and making Trump's tax cuts permanent by using what's known as a current policy baseline, as determined by the chairman. Follow Julia's reporting on X at @JuliaaJohnson_ and send tips to Julia.Johnson@fox.com.
