Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will vote unanimously against the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."
"This is not beautiful. This bill is downright ugly — a job killer, a price raiser, a care slasher, and massive pile on to the national debt," Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement to the New York Daily News on Monday.
"There's not just a little laundry list of reasons why this bill is so bad — there's pages and pages of bill text people can read for themselves that so clearly hurt everyday Americans, disproportionally boost billionaires who don't need help, and pile onto the national debt at a time when the president is already choking the nation's economy," he added.
"That's why Senate Democrats oppose this just-passed bill and will work to shine light on it so our Republicans act."
House Republicans passed the multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package early Thursday, 215-214.
It goes to the Senate next, and long negotiations lie ahead.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., can afford to lose only three Republican senators and still pass the bill, and more than that have problems with it right now. Like the House, senators will have to balance the concerns from moderate and conservative members of his conference.
