WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) released the following statement after voting ‘no’ on President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed by a vote of 51-50, with Vice President J.D. Vance breaking the tie.
“After more than 25 hours on the Senate floor, I voted no on the so-called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’ No matter which way you slice it – health care, energy, housing – the President just rammed through a bill that will make Michiganders pay in every part of their lives. All so the wealthiest among us can get a tax break.
“Today’s massive bill will go through only with a tie breaker. Senate Democrats importantly delayed the process enough to allow the world to see this bill and to lay bare the fighting and divisions on the other side.
“History will not be kind to this bill, but it is important to remember it is not a done deal. It still has to be passed in the House. So, raise your voices about how it will impact you or your business or your community. Call your representatives. Keep pushing.”
