Senate Democrats forced a floor reading of the GOP's 940-page "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" as a way to slow down the process of passage.

The full bill reading went on for about 16 hours.

The Senate released a revised version of the House-passed version of the bill late on Friday night.

Republicans are using the budget reconciliation tool to avoid the 60-vote threshold normally required to pass legislation. Both parties have utilized the same strategy in the past.

The bill passed a procedural hurdle on Saturday 51-49.

The floor reading of the bill took place on Sunday in the Senate.

Debate has now started on the legislation. Up to 20 hours of debate will be allowed.
