Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) urged Senate Republicans to advance President Trump’s “big and beautiful bill,” which the House passed earlier this week.
Gingrich said Republican senators have “all rights” to formulate versions of their presidential big bill, but if they care about the U.S. economy and its voters, they will eventually vote through the House of Lords to pass it on to Trump’s desk for signing.
“It hindered huge tax increases and created a better regulatory environment. It consumed a lot of government waste. It wasn’t perfect. Look. We balanced the budget for the only four consecutive years in the last century, but we didn’t do it overnight. We didn’t do it in the first or second year.
“You have to cut those things. To get the best plan, you can come back again next year or return to the appropriation bill this fall, but keep moving forward.”
Some Republican senators have marked part of the bill they hope to change, including Medicaid reforms, and expressed concerns that the 11,116-page bill passed by the House Thursday morning would not have enough spending cuts to control spending.
The second fiscal hawk’s senses, Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Rand Paul (R-ky.) said they are currently against voting for legislation.
“There should be a goal of a Republican Senate budget solution to reduce the deficit, not increase the deficit. We are increasing it. From my point of view, this is a non-life person.”
The Congressional Budget Office said the legislation would add $3.8 trillion to debt. Johnson said four senators in the Republican meeting were “at least” and would currently vote on the bill without further spending cuts.
Another group of Republican senators are concerned about Medicaid reform, which will cut benefits. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she was “very concerned” about the reduction in federal Medicaid funding to states, which would increase pressure on rural hospitals.
Others, such as Senator Rick Scott (R-FLA.), hope to tighten Medicaid for sound adults.
“Medicaid should go back and do what it does. It’s about caring for poor children and getting sick for a long time, and that’s the point.”
House Republicans warned Senate Republicans not to pour large-scale bills into large quantities. They open some changes to the Senate, especially if more spending cuts are installed, and the Senate is committed to reducing the deficit, but hopes to continue to phase out green energy subsidies and revised Medicaid requirements.
“And I encourage our Senate colleagues to think it’s a team effort and modify that as little as possible because it will make it easier for us to put it on the line by July 4 and eventually and finish the president’s desk by July 4,” speaker Mike Johnson (R-La said after meeting with the Senators on Tuesday.
Gingrich told Senators that after revising and arguing about the bill, they should vote for its passage “because voting not to vote is voting for huge taxes.”
“It’s about weakening the administration’s vote. Voting is about making it difficult for President Trump to create the kind of America he was voted for him to create,” the former speaker added. “Frankly, it goes against the will of almost all Republicans who have brought the senator into office.”
