The U.S. Senate passed a Republican bill promoting President Donald Trump's immigration, energy and defense policies in the early hours of Friday morning, despite Trump's preference for a House of Representatives version of the bill that would include trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

The U.S. Senate debated late into the night on Thursday on a Republican bill to advance President Donald Trump's priorities on immigration, energy and defense, even after he urged lawmakers to scrap the effort in favor of a House of Representatives bill that would include trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

For Representative David Valadao of California and other Republicans whose constituents depend on Medicaid, a vote for their party’s budget could be politically fatal. President Trump’s agenda hangs in the balance.

Some Republicans have raised concerns about potential cuts to anti-poverty programs that their constituents rely on as they search for ways to pay for Trump’s legislative agenda.
