US EditionTrump slams Paul for voting ‘NO on everything,’ lacking ‘constructive ideas’
- President Donald Trump publicly criticized Senator Rand Paul on June 3, 2025, over Paul's opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill tax-and-spending package in Washington.
- Paul objects mainly to the bill's $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, stating he will not support raising the debt limit by such a large amount.
- The One Big Beautiful Bill narrowly passed the House in late May and now moves through the Senate via reconciliation, including tax cuts and a multi-trillion debt hike.
- Trump accused Paul of voting 'NO on everything' without constructive ideas and warned Paul will 'play right into the hands of the Democrats,' while Paul pledged to compromise but resist debt increases.
- The dispute highlights internal Republican tensions amid efforts to pass the bill, which aims to advance Trump's domestic agenda but could widen national deficits significantly.
