5 possible changes that could hold up Trump's 'big beautiful bill' in the Senate

(ABC News) The Senate has long been signaling that changes to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" are coming, and as Congress barrels toward President Donald Trump's July 4 deadline, the contours of those changes are beginning to take shape.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the bill would rein in the cost of government and put federal programs on a more sustainable fiscal path to a degree "I think a lot of people never thought was possible."

"This will be the biggest spending reduction, mandatory spending, in history, so we are working to that end," Thune said on "The Will Cain Show."
