Lisa Murkowski's Deciding Vote on the Big Beautiful Bill
Showing 5 Lisa Murkowski videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Senator Lisa Murkowski voted yes on the Senate's "Big Beautiful Bill," the tax and spending package including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and expanded border security funding, helping secure its narrow passage by a single vote that required Vice President JD Vance to break a tie in the Senate. Murkowski's yes vote stood out alongside Senator Thom Tillis's surprise no vote, part of a small group of Republican defections, Susan Collins and Rand Paul among them, that made the bill's ultimate 53-seat-majority passage closer than expected before it moved back to the House for final approval. The vote capped a legislative fight that unfolded alongside a separate, unrelated public feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the same bill's spending provisions. Allie Beth Stuckey's reflections on the large public memorial held for Charlie Kirk around the same period captured a distinct, non-legislative moment in the same news cycle, though it has no direct connection to Murkowski's vote itself.
