11:55:00Now PlayingWASHINGTON (AP) — Capping a tumultuous night, the Republican-controlled Senate advanced President Donald Trump’s package of tax breaks, spending cuts and increased deportation money, with more weekend work ahead as Congress races to meet his Fourth of July deadline for passage.
Watch the Senate floor in our player above.
