A fiery Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., took to the Senate floor on Sunday evening to explain his vote from Saturday against the motion to proceed on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, condemning the legislation and saying it breaks President Donald Trump’s promises to protect Medicaid.

With Sens. Rand Paul and Thom Tillis opposed to the package, GOP leaders can afford only one more defection. And multiple Republicans aren't yet sold on the measure.

Senate Republicans cleared a key procedural step as they race to pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds by his July Fourth deadline.
