The House and Senate Republicans are readying for a fight now that the former has passed President Donald Trump's 2026 budget, which he refers to as his "big, beautiful bill." The Senate is readying to give them a wake-up call.

According to Punchbowl News, Senate Republicans are split on what they'll do with the bill. Some think they can pull off getting it passed as is, while others don't see anything passing before Trump's deadline of July 4. The real must-pass date is in August or September, according to a March Congressional Budget Office forecast. That's when the government will run out of money.

Punchbowl walked through all of the things that need to happen in the next few weeks for the bill to be passed by July 4. Mainly, Republicans will be forced to agree on the cuts made by the House bill to Medicaid and other programs. That's already a non-starter for senators like Josh Hawley (R-MO), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), several reports said.

The GOP senators also don't like the $40,000 cap on deducting state and local taxes. New York House Republicans are threatening to kill the bill if senators change it, the report said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told Punchbowl he knows of 16 GOP senators who would be "disproportionately impacted, especially with job losses" if the lawmakers kill President Joe Biden's landmark Inflation Reduction Act legislation, which includes a lot of tax credits red states wanted, such as funding rural broadband.

“We get them so afraid — and this is happening already — that they go to Thune and say we have to modify Medicaid, we have to modify SNAP, we have to modify the clean-energy provisions,” Schumer said in an interview. “The more we show Americans what’s in this bill, the more they have to change it.”

However, the more that is changed in the Senate the less likely the House GOP will want to pass it.

"Aides in both parties expect this process to take around a week for the Finance portion alone," the report said.

Then, it will likely take two days to handle the amendments. Democrats will try to enact their own pain on the GOP with amendments and the GOP will try to block all amendments from coming to a vote, the report continued.

"Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has used every phase of this process to build pressure on lawmakers to get to the next step," Punchbowl closed. "This is the last step. So Johnson effectively will have one argument to make — that the bill is worthy and it’s time to pass it."
