On Friday afternoon, Republicans of the Senate met the Treasury Secretary Scott Beesen, who called the draft law “the most important economic thing we will do this year.”

The Speaker of Parliament, Mike Johnson, chewed the law of one beautiful bill with Republicans in the Senate at the lunch of closed doors on Friday, and then told the reporters that the Senate of the legislation had almost ended.
“We have a wonderful discussion on many important issues, and I feel that we are very close to a final product,” said Johnson.

While the Senate is fighting with the tax rule of the state and local tax, Johnson said he believed that the members of the Senate “are very close to the closure of this case.”
It was initially expected that the Senate version of the draft law would arrive at the Senate Hall on Saturday afternoon by a procedural vote on the proposal to move to the draft law, which requires a simple majority of votes. However, late on Friday, there were signs that the initial schedule was out of reach, as the Senate was no longer expected to vote at noon. Instead, the Senate will meet at 2 pm and it is not clear when the vote will occur.
After the draft law gets the necessary votes to move forward, there are up to 20 hours of discussion, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans are likely to give most of their ten hours. Democrats are likely to be used near all of this.
After an unlimited series of amendment sounds, the Senate can vote on the final section of the draft law on Sunday.
However, some road barriers remain. On Thursday, Parliament in the Senate rejected a civilized ruling on the draft law, which is a major blow to the efforts of Republicans in the Senate. Also, the majority leader of the Senate, John Thun, cannot lose only three votes of republics when the bill goes to the Senate Hall, with the unified democratic opposition in the Senate.
Thun said on Friday: “All this depends on … We have some things that we are waiting for, and results from Parliament, but if we can get some of these questions that fell, and my expectations at some point tomorrow, we will be ready to go.”

Johnson and Thne met with Trump on Thursday night in the Oval Office on the Tax and Immigration Bill in the role of Congress on the deadline that she imposed on the fourth of July.
Johnson said on Thursday’s meeting: “We had a long discussion about … where the bill and his condition stands. They are – we are very close, and the leader Thun trusts that they can accomplish the mission by the end of this week, and we certainly hope for it,” Johnson said on Thursday.
Earlier on Friday, Johnson suggested that the deadline on July 4 might slip, saying “it is possible that the deadline may change – although he said he wanted to remain committed to the fourth goal in July. However, later in the day, Johnson grabbed Independence Day.
“This was our goal all the time, and it did not change,” the spokesman said, adding that “the House of Representatives is ready to act as soon as the Senate does.”
After his disruption on the deadline he imposed on July July, to pass the Immigration and Green Tax Bill, Trump later doubled in a history on a social networking site.
“The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my office before the fourth of July – we can accomplish it,” the president wrote.

Earlier, when he was asked about the deadline during a press conference in the White House briefing room, the president said, “It is not the end” and this “could go longer.”
On Thursday, Congress and administration leaders described the benefits of the package during the celebration of the Eastern Chamber of the White House.
Since the Senate aims to move forward at the end of this week with Megabill, the leaders of the House of Representatives told the members of an official notice, “pending the Senate in Human Resources 1, it is expected that the vote on a beautiful beautiful bill in the House of Representatives next week” – conclusively for the Independence Day holiday for a planned week.
“More information related to the time of sounds will be provided as soon as possible, and members will be given a notice of at least 48 hours before any votes in the House of Representatives,” says the notice.
Earlier this week, Trump told members of Congress that they would have to give up vacations to obtain the bill to his office.
“For my Senate friends, lock yourself in a room if you have, do not go home, and accomplish the deal this week,” Trump posted his social media platform. “Working with the house so that they can capture it, and its passage, immediately. No one goes on vacation until it is done.”
