Inside the Senate All-Nighter Passing the One Big Beautiful Bill

🏛️ Behind the Scenes of the Senate All-Nighter

• The Senate pulled an all-nighter to pass the bill using the budget reconciliation process, which allows legislation to pass with a simple majority (50 votes) and bypass the filibuster.
• The process involved a "vote-a-rama"—a marathon session of votes on amendments, lasting over 27 hours.
• Senators coped with the long hours by napping in cloakrooms or hideaways, eating fast food (like McDonald's breakfast), and socializing in informal groups.
