The top Democrat in the Senate wants to make things as difficult as possible for Senate Republicans as they try to pass President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” He plans to do this before lawmakers even get a chance to discuss the huge piece of legislation.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, plans to make Senate clerks read all 940 pages of the Republican bill out loud on the Senate floor. He is doing this to slow things down as much as he can. This will happen after Republicans vote on an important step to start debating the bill.
“I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor,” Schumer said on X. “Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill. So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor
“We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it.”
Staff members were seen bringing the bill onto the Senate floor, getting ready for the all-night reading session. Schumer’s plan could take as long as 15 hours. He wants to give Senate Democrats more time to look over all the different parts of the huge bill.
In the end, though, this move will only slow things down for a while. Senate Republicans will still keep working to have a final vote. After the bill is read, there will be 20 hours of debate. This time will be split evenly between Democrats and Republicans and will probably start early Sunday morning.
Democrats will likely use all of their 10 hours, but Republicans are expected to use less than their full time. After that, there will be a “vote-a-rama.” This is when lawmakers can suggest as many changes, or amendments, to the bill as they want.
During this process, Democrats will try to make things as tough as possible for Republicans again. Meanwhile, some Republican senators who have problems with parts of the bill, such as Medicaid and land sales, will try to change those sections.
The last time Senate clerks had to read an entire bill during the budget reconciliation process was in 2021, when Democrats were in control of the Senate. Back then, Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, made clerks read the whole American Rescue Act, which was over 600 pages long. Schumer, who was Senate Majority Leader at the time and trying to pass President Joe Biden’s agenda, did not want the bill to be read aloud.
Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
