       Trump pressured senators to pass his tax-and-spending bill President Trump’s first-year legislative agenda hung in the balance yesterday, as the Senate began voting on amendments to the president’s sweeping economic and domestic policy bill.

       Trump is pressuring Congress to pass the bill by Friday, the Independence Day holiday, but whether the Republicans had enough votes for passage was unclear. Here’s the latest.

       Four Republican defectors would be enough to kill the measure, and at least two senators have said they will not vote for it, while a half-dozen others were undecided. Proposed cuts to medical and Social Security benefits have drawn fierce opposition from Democrats and made several Republicans uneasy.

       What’s in it: The bill would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said. The proposed legislation would include significant investments in border security and the military. It would provide major tax cuts and slash spending on safety-net programs, including Medicaid, the health care program for low-income Americans, and food assistance. Here’s a look at the spending cuts.

       What’s next: If the Senate passes the bill, it will then go to the House of Representatives for passage and finally to the president for his signature to become law.
