Political fallout over the \u200bfund had already prevented Republicans from moving the bill forward last month.<\/div><div>Trump&#8217;s recent actions, from the fund to his \u200bdecision to name political ally Bill Pulte as U.S. intelligence chief, have gone down poorly with Republicans since he oversaw the primary defeats of Republican Senators John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy last month.<\/div><div>The Senate will hold hours of debate before initiating a lengthy vote-a-rama in \u200bwhich members of both parties will propose amendments they want included in the legislation ahead of a \u200bfinal vote on passage that could come as early as Thursday.<\/div><div>Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer vowed on Wednesday to \u200cbring a \u2060slew of amendments that would force Republicans to vote on Trump&#8217;s fund, a deal that protects Trump and his family from future IRS tax audits, the Iran war, Trump&#8217;s tariffs and actions by immigration enforcement officials, including the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.<\/div><div>\u201cEven without Trump\u2019s $1 billion taxpayer-funded ballroom &#8230; \u200bthe bill is rotten through-and-through,\u201d \u200bSchumer said on the \u2060Senate floor. \u201cEvery amendment we\u2019ll bring to the floor will demonstrate that Democrats are standing up for the American people and Republicans are selling out to Donald \u200bTrump.\u201d<\/div><div>Democrats hope that their legislative onslaught will undermine Republicans in the November \u200bmidterm elections, in \u2060which Democrats are favored to take control of the House of Representatives and could also capture the Senate.<\/div><div>But Republicans have shown little outward concern about seeing any Democratic amendments win enough support for passage, saying the \u2060decision to \u200bmove forward with the legislation signaled that their 53-47 majority \u200bwould have the wherewithal to withstand the attack.<\/div><div>Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis dismissed Democrats on Wednesday, saying: &#8220;They must have more free time on \u200btheir hands than I do.&#8221;<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Nolan D.
