The Senate is taking a key procedural vote that has dragged for hours as Republicans struggle to advance President Donald Trump’s package of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds ahead of his July Fourth deadline.
But by nightfall, Trump was lashing out against holdouts, threatening to campaign against one Republican, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who had announced he could not support the bill because of grave Medicaid cuts that he worried would leave many without health care in his state.
I’m guessing next year is re-election time for him, but even so this does not seem like him.
Update says it advanced. This shocked me however:
