(Washington, DC) — The Senate is voting on a series of amendments to the GOP tax bill ahead of the final vote. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York blasted his Republican colleagues for adding last-minute pet projects to the bill. Republicans are confident they have the votes to pass their tax bill. All Democrats are expected to vote no, calling the bill a huge gift to the wealthiest Americans and corporations. Only one Republican, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker said he will vote against the measure. Democrats and some Republicans are also concerned about projections that the tax bill will add more than a trillion dollars to the federal deficit.
