The U.S. Senate on Friday was set to start a marathon session aimed at eventually handing Republican President Donald Trump sweeping legislation to extend tax cuts and achieve budget reductions in the face of staunch Democratic opposition.

Senate Republicans unveiled a budget blueprint designed to fast-track a renewal of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and an increase to the nation’s borrowing limit, ahead of a planned vote on the resolution later this week.

Republicans are waiting for news from the Senate's parliamentarian about whether they can use a current policy baseline for their tax-cut package and comply with reconciliation rules.

Senate Republicans triggered a vote-a-rama on Friday in a bid to pass Trump's budget resolution after it ends.

The Montana Senate Taxation Committee voted down two major tax bills backed by Gov. Greg Gianforte Wednesday, killing a measure that would have cut a full percentage point off the state’s primary income tax rate and another that would have increased property taxes on second homes as part of efforts to lower homeowner tax bills.
