The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed with Vice President J.D. Vance casting a tie-breaking vote after more than 24 hours of debate.
After hours of stalemate Republicans in the US Senate have narrowly passed Donald Trump's mega bill on tax and spending.
This means that the proposed legislation has cleared one of its key hurdles.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed with Vice President J.D. Vance casting a tie-breaking vote after more than 24 hours of debate.
It now heads back to the House or lower chamber where it still faces more opposition.
An earlier version was cleared by House Republicans by a single-vote margin.
Mr. Trump had given the Republican-controlled Congress a deadline of July 4 to send him a final version of the bill to sign into law.
