US Senator James Lankford (R-OK), a member of the Senate Finance and Homeland Security Committees, recently highlighted that the One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest tax cut in history for hardworking Americans, secures the border, strengthens Medicaid, and rebuilds the military, all while cutting out-of-control spending. Lankford was one of the 51 votes in the Senate on Saturday night that approved the Senate moving forward to debate the OBBB with a likely final vote coming on Monday.
“Right now, Democrats are running on rumors, innuendo, and quite frankly, just stuff they’ve made up that’s not in the bill—never been considered in the bill,” said Lankford on Fox Business.
“Yeah, we’re hoping to get a vote as quickly as we can get everything all together,” said Lankford on ABC News. “Most of it has been out there in public for now, days to weeks, actually, as we’ve released each chapter day by day over the last two weeks. But we’ve got several different issues that are all coming together at the end.”
“We’re going to just keep pushing to be able to get the work done,” said Lankford on Newsmax.
Background
