US EditionTop GOP Senator Brutally Mocks Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’
- Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, strongly criticized President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' on May 15, 2025, during a Fox Business interview.
- Johnson argued the bill fails to reduce federal spending to pre-pandemic levels and warned it would increase the already large $37 trillion debt, projected to reach $60 trillion.
- He detailed that the bill's $1.5 trillion spending cuts equal only a 1.68% reduction against $89.3 trillion projected spending over 10 years, mostly targeting Medicaid expansion and related programs.
- Johnson stated, 'I will talk to him' about compromises but confirmed he would vote against the bill, calling it 'false advertising' and doubtful to pass the Senate due to GOP opposition.
- His rejection signals challenges in uniting Republicans behind the bill, implying possible legislative obstacles and the need for deeper spending reductions to satisfy conservative critics.
