About this episode
The GOP's tax-and-budget package passes 51-50, after a late night of negotiating and a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. What amendments did the Senate make, and will Speaker Mike Johnson have trouble selling them to House conservatives? Plus, Sen. Thom Tillis, who opposes the Medicaid reforms, announces he won't seek reelection in 2026.
