WASHINGTON, D.C.(HubCityRadio)- Following the passage of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill out of the U.S. Senate, Senate Majority John thune went on the floor of the U.S. Senate to comment on it.
Thune talks about the economic impact it could have on the country if signed.
Thune thanked all that helped to get the bill passed the finish line in the U.S. Senate.
Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) released the following statement after the reconciliation bill passed the Senate by a vote of 51-50, with Vice President Vance breaking the tie:
“Last November, South Dakotans and the American people voted for a better, stronger nation that puts the safety and prosperity of American families first. They voted for policies that rein in government spending, cut taxes for the middle and working class and protect Americans from threats at home and abroad. With the Senate passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we are one step closer to delivering on those promises.
“Despite obstruction from Democrats that went long into the night, Leader Thune and our Senate Republican majority passed the bill this afternoon. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a win for families in South Dakota and across America. It delivers the largest tax cut for the working class in American history, boosts our national defense, secures our border and cuts wasteful government spending on the taxpayer’s dime. Specifically in South Dakota, it will save families from an average tax increase of $2,400 next year. It also introduces new savings for families by increasing the Child Tax Credit, no taxes on tips, overtime or car loan interest and giving middle-class seniors tax relief on Social Security. This means more money going back into the pockets of hard-working South Dakotans.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues as we build on this momentum and continue to deliver results for the American people.”
South Dakota Democratic Party Chair Shane Merrill released the following statement:
“Leader Thune and Senator Rounds chose tax breaks for the wealthy over the needs of hard working South Dakotans. This bill targets our most vulnerable citizens, robbing them of their health insurance, taking food off the table, increasing energy bills, and killing good-paying jobs. Our rural communities will also experience sweeping cuts to hospitals and nursing homes. Thune and Rounds are throwing working families under the bus. South Dakotans need to hold them accountable for the disaster they have created for our state.”
The bill returns to the U.S. House for their vote. President Trump hope to have the bill on his desk by the 4th of July.
