No one expected the last passage from the House of the Riche Tax Reductions while moving away the food and health care of millions Bill is easy. Trump and President Mike Johnson made the task even more difficult with an artificial deadline that let them try to build muscle thanks to a change in legislation in two days.
So far, it goes as well as expected.
Punchbowl News reported:
Until now, a bunch of HFC members say they will vote no. Norman told us that he was not on the rule and on the bill. Roy has expressed significant concerns about projections that the package could add thousands of dollars to the deficit. Representative Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) Told local radio that he did not think that the bill “would adopt as it is” and declared that he agreed with Elon Musk that the bill is “bad”.
Trump and Johnson have turned many of these Republicans last time with the idea that the bill would improve. This chain is exhausted.
….
We talked to several people in the Whip Gop House team on Tuesday evening which expressed an alarm to what they saw on their Whip cards. These sources have declared that they accumulated the NO of the legislators in which they did not expect would be opposed to the bill.
Currently, there are between one and two dozen Republicans say they will vote no. This list does not include representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) who is already an unconfirmed. Massie being a no, the Republicans can lose two votes before the drop in the bill.
As I said on live cat on a daily basis, There are two paths for the BBB. Either he is just a matter of him, or he crashes and burns spectacularly like a large number of house republicans refuse to support him.
The republicans of the chamber have learned that there is a number in number because Trump is a tyrant who prefers to target individuals. They can avoid Trump’s anger by sticky in a group, so if this bill fails and is returned to the Senate, it will be because more than a few republicans of the Chamber said no.
The Republicans of the Chamber have no reason to advance the bill this week. They would risk their seats, so that Trump gets a photo shoot for July 4. If they reject the Senate bill, they will force him to change.
Trump and Johnson can always pass this bill, but there are big problems, and it will certainly not be easy.
