As Republican congressional leadership prepares to pass its One Big Beautiful Bill Act—the main legislative vehicle for President Donald Trump’s campaign promises—a number of fiscal hawks in the House Freedom Caucus are indicating they will vote it down if the Senate’s rumored changes are included.
Specifically, caucus members say the Senate’s work on the bill weakens the rollback of former President Joe Biden’s environmental policies, makes more tax cuts permanent without offsetting spending cuts, and does not pursue more of the restructuring of Medicaid they desire.
Leadership in both chambers hope to send the bill to the president’s desk by Independence Day, July 4, and have indicated they will work through a planned recess if necessary to get it passed.
“The currently proposed Senate version of the One Big, Beautiful Bill weakens key House priorities,” wrote Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., on the social platform X.
Harris voted “present” on the bill when it passed through the House.
