Listen now to the Sunday story on the Up First podcast from NPR.
Live from NPR News, on Corva Coleman,
the Senate is closing in on nearly 24 hours worth of debate over the multi-trillion dollar tax cut and spending bill.
It's favored by President Trump.
Republican leaders can only lose three GOP votes or the mammoth measure will fail in the Senate.
Two Republicans are opposed.
One, because it doesn't cut enough government spending.
And Pierzalina Moore says the other Republicans are worried that the bill cuts too deeply into Medicaid.
You know, they say it could seriously hurt, for one, rural hospitals.
But at the same time, there's a group of, you know,
hard-right fiscal conservatives who still want to see more cuts to the program
because they say it'll help the government just offset the costs of this big bill.
And Piers Elena Moore reporting.
Billionaire Elon Musk is still angry over the spending bill.
