Big, beautiful vote-a-rama amendments: What has been proposed, and did they pass or fail?

The Senate has an extended voting session on Monday, also known as a “vote-a-rama.” During this session, lawmakers can propose unlimited amendments before finalizing a bill, in this case, the “one big, beautiful bill.”

GOP BRACES FOR DEMOCRATIC ‘VOTE-A-RAMA’ BLITZ AS SENATE NEARS FINAL VOTE ON ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’

Democrats are expected to bring “amendment after amendment after amendment to the floor,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), so Republicans “can try to explain their massive cuts to Medicaid, to people back home.” Currently, the record for the most amendment votes during a vote-a-rama stands at 44 from 2008, and it’s unclear if Democrats are seeking to break that record today.

Here is a rolling list of all the amendments that come up on Monday, and whether they have passed or failed:

1. Does Decision of the Chair stand as Judgement of the Senate (that amendment #2360 doesn’t violate sect 313(b)(1)(E) of the Congressional Budget Act)?

Essentially a technical question on whether the “one big, beautiful bill” follows budgetary rules. Presented by Sen. John Thune (R-SD), the resulting vote was 53-47, indicating the decision of the chair stands. This vote affirms the GOP decision that Trump’s tax extension should not count against current policy baseline and should not add more spending.
