What was the “Big Beautiful Bill”?

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was the popular name for H.R. 1 of the 119th Congress — a sweeping budget-reconciliation package. The Senate took it up in summer 2025 through an extended series of amendment votes before final passage. Fetterman, like the rest of the Senate Democratic caucus, opposed it.

How the Senate got to passage

Between the motion to proceed on June 28, 2025 and final passage on July 1, 2025, this dataset records 21 separate roll-call votes on H.R. 1 — most of them votes on amendments and procedural motions taken in a single extended session. On final passage the chamber divided 50–50: Democrats split 0–45 and Republicans 50–3, and the recorded result was “Bill Passed” — on a tied tally, passage requires the Vice President’s tie-breaking vote under the Constitution. Every roll call in the series links to its official Senate.gov record and can be found in the full voting record.
