The Senate passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in a 51-48 vote. It now moves to the House for a revote, the Wall Street Journal reported.
After the House passed the bill Tuesday, it was reported that there were provisions in the bill violating procedural rules. The Senate removed those provisions to satisfy Senate parliamentarian rules.
“The Republicans are using a process called reconciliation to skirt the Senate’s typical 60-vote requirement to pass most legislation,” the article states. “The House voted earlier Tuesday before the Senate, but now has to vote again.”
President Trump said there would be a news conference in the early afternoon Wednesday if the House passes the bill.
