Chairman Graham Statement On Senate Passage Of The One Big Beautiful Bill Act

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today made this statement after the Senate passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by a vote of 51-50.

“After a long but fruitful day, the Republican Senate delivered. Senate Majority Leader Thune, Chairman Crapo and all my Republican colleagues did a great job, clinching a big win for President Trump and the American people.

“Here’s what we accomplished:

The most comprehensive border security package in American history.
Prevented the largest tax hike in history by making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, helping the American economy and working families.
The biggest reduction in spending in American history due to common sense government reforms.
A $150 billion infusion for the Department of Defense to make us safe.
Raising the debt ceiling so we do not have to worry about default.

“I am honored to be the Senate Budget Chairman at such a crucial time. I am also proud to have worked with my Republican colleagues, helping deliver the foundation of President Trump’s domestic agenda. As a result of the Republican Senate passing this bill, America will be more prosperous and safe.

“Now it is up to my House colleagues to get this historic legislation over the finish line and on to the President’s desk as soon as possible.”
