Senate floor staff on Sunday concluded the out-loud reading to the chamber of President Donald Trump’s nearly 1,000-page tax and spending bill, fulfilling a demand by Democrats in a symbolic protest of the Republican legislation that was one step closer to final passage.

Clerks began reading aloud at 11:08 p.m. Saturday and finished the 940-page One Big Beautiful Bill Act about 16 hours later at 3:03 p.m. Sunday following an overnight session with rotating 30-minute shifts.
