6 Senate Republicans who could hold up Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
- In 2025, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, could use the budget reconciliation process to advance a major legislative proposal with a simple majority vote.
- The bill aims to extend key components of the soon-to-end 2017 tax reform law for another decade and increase the debt limit by $4 trillion, employing a disputed current policy baseline to lower its estimated cost.
- While the White House and Senate leaders endorse this accounting method, tax experts and CRFB President Maya MacGuineas call it a fiscal failure that obscures real deficits and risks adding trillions to the national debt.
- House leaders estimate $4.3 trillion in lost revenue and $1.7 trillion in savings, but CRFB projects at least $3.1 trillion added to debt by 2034, with Miller dismissing deficit warnings as 'ludicrous theory.'
- Multiple Republicans in both chambers oppose a final bill based on the current policy baseline without further spending cuts, threatening to block this unprecedented move to make tax cuts permanent and add $1.5 trillion in spending.
