US EditionGOP senators say Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ needs spending cuts
- Republican Senators including Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, John Curtis, Rand Paul, and Kevin Cramer have raised concerns about President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' after its House passage on May 22, 2025.
- They criticize the bill's rapid approval and significant 58% spending increase since 2019, which Johnson and others call an unsustainable rise comparable only to World War II levels.
- The bill narrowly passed the House 215-214-1 and includes a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase and provisions affecting taxes, Medicaid, and food stamps, sparking fears of increased deficits and Medicaid cuts.
- Johnson stated on CNN, 'This is our moment,' warning enough GOP senators may block the bill until serious spending cuts and deficit reductions occur, while Rand Paul and Hawley decry the current cuts as 'wimpy and anemic.'
- The Senate is expected to heavily revise the bill before reconciliation, reflecting ongoing GOP resistance and the urgent need to prevent a catastrophic debt default projected for August 2025.
