It’s Big Beautiful Voting Day on “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan!” With producer Robby West filling in for Manila Chan, we’re diving deep into today’s Senate vote over Trump’s massive tax and spending bill. Republican leaders are scrambling to keep their fractious party in line as voting on amendments kicks off this morning. After a tense weekend of debates, the bill barely advanced with a 51-49 vote late Saturday, with Sen. Ron Johnson flipping his vote to avoid requiring a tie-breaking vote from Vice President J.D. Vance.
But the GOP is still fractured—Sen. Rand Paul is digging in against the Big Beautiful Bill, especially over the nation’s borrowing limit, and some provisions, like Medicaid work requirements, that are stirring controversy.
With a razor-thin GOP House majority, the bill’s fate hangs in the balance as amendments pile up. Will Republicans hold it together, or will internal strife sink it? Tune in for a sharp, unfiltered take on the political chaos!
