QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Missouri’s U.S. senators support the ‘one big, beautiful bill?’
Matthew Sanders
After weeks of work behind the scenes, the U.S. Senate voted this weekend to start debate and amendments to the “one big, beautiful bill,” President Donald Trump’s signature piece of legislation.
Debate over the bill has been fierce, particularly over provisions that will cut Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding while delivering large tax cuts. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has said he will not vote for a bill with Medicaid cuts but was among the slight Republican majority that voted to begin debate on the bill.
The Senate is working toward a swift vote on the full bill. If approved, it will have to return to the House for a vote. Trump says he wants the legislation on his desk for a July 4 signing.
Do you think Missouri’s senators should support the bill? Let us know by voting in the poll.
