From the New York Post: Members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus claimed Monday they would not back the Senate’s version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act because it doesn’t include enough spending cuts.
As the Senate proceeded with a series of votes on amendments to the megabill, the 32-member Freedom Caucus said their GOP colleagues needed to make “major changes” if they expected the measure to pass the House and get to President Trump’s desk.
“The Senate’s version adds $651 billion to the deficit — and that’s before interest costs, which nearly double the total,” the group claimed on X.
“That’s not fiscal responsibility. It’s not what we agreed to,” the caucus added. “The Senate must make major changes and should at least be in the ballpark of compliance with the agreed upon House budget framework. Republicans must do better.”
The House budget framework was clear: no new deficit spending in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
