Free-ride guide confirms Kash Patel and Marathon Senate Voting Meeting to Tee Up Trump Era
The Senate voted later this morning to pass the nomination for Kash Patel to run for the FBI.
The senator will vote to confirm him around 1:45 pm ET and the final result after 2 pm ET. He will confirm through party.
The Senate then returns to the budget framework for part of the reasons that advance President Trump’s policy agenda.

The Senate began a 50-hour debate on Tuesday night’s budget.
The budget process is long and arduous. It eventually climaxed in the marathon voting series – tonight and Friday are called “the ticket” – if not the early hours of Saturday morning.
The last time such a vote was 41 consecutive votes, and it took more than a day to complete it in real time.
This arduous exercise is to get the final product that allows Republicans to get around Senate litigation later. However, the proposal must be fiscal in nature and will not increase the deficit within 10 years.

This is very important to know:
The mechanic just spelled out will only create a shell. This is the legislative “chassis”. Both the House and the Senate must have the issue before ultimately debate the substantive legislation, whether it is border security or massive tax cuts. There is no “chassis”, and there is no final bill.

So this is an important phase in the mobile presidential agenda, but not the end result.
House Republicans will try to advance their plans next week. It focuses more on tax cuts and receives the president’s blessing. But the House and Senate still have to go to the same page. So far, they are working across purposes.
