Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., center, speaks to reporters after GOP lawmakers met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday to discuss the sweeping tax and spending bill Republicans are hoping to have to President Trump by July 4.

While Senate leaders have made several significant changes to the bill in recent days, the issue of funding for rural hospitals has emerged as a major roadblock.
