House Freedom Caucus members say Senate changes spell doom for Trump tax bill

The members of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus warn that they have serious problems with the version of the President’s Senate Donald Trump “Big, Beautiful Bill” as it is currently written.

On Sunday, the GOP rebels group argued in a public statement that the Senate bill added $ 1.3 billion to the federal deficit, while the bill sentenced to the Chamber would increase the federal deficit by $ 72 billion.

“Even at no cost of interest, it is $ 651 billion on our agreed budgetary framework,” the statement said.

The Senate is currently working with the bill and is expected to end a little later on Monday or even Tuesday.

The Senate bill would add an additional 1 billion of dollars to increase the debt limit, compared to the version of the Chamber and permanently extend certain corporate tax reductions in the tax on tax reductions and jobs (TCJA) of President Donald Trump that the Chamber was only prolonging.

It also includes several specific new additions to mitigate the concerns of the Senate Republicans concerning the bill, including a rural hospital of $ 25 billion to compensate for problems with Medicaid cuts, and tax relief for whalers who seem to be for senator Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.

The Senate operates under a mechanism called “current reference of politics”, which would actually be zero the cost of extending TCJA tax reductions by calculating them as de facto operational policy rather than calculating the cost as if they were not in place.

In the absence of action of the congress, TCJA tax reductions expired at the end of 2025.

The conservatives of the Chamber, however, warned that they had serious problems with the bill.

The representatives Ralph Norman, R -Texas, and Eric Burlison, R -MO., The two members of the House Freedom Caucus, said that the bill could face steep chances – even to fail – in the lower room if changes were not brought.

The two said that he could fail in a procedural vote at the house level before the legislators could even face the measure itself. A rule vote is traditionally considered to allow a debate on legislation before the legislators weigh it.

“If it goes [the House Rules Committee]I don’t think that survives on the ground in the current form in which it is. You know, we told senators that “Norman told Fox News Digital.” They knew it from the start. “”

Norman said President Mike Johnson, R-La., Had done a “good job”, but added the Senate, “they have fighters … But we just have to have certain things that respect our version of our house.”

The legislation could still change before it reaches the chamber, like the Senate Works through a parade of amendments Democrats and Republicans.

Burlison said it could depend on the fate of a Senator Rick Scott amendment, R-Fla., Who would significantly make Medicaid the financial burden for states that have expanded their Medicaid population under the Acting Acting Act (ACA).

The modification, if adopted, would bring back the current rate of 90% that the government pays for the expansion population of Medicaid thanks to the percentage of federal medical assistance (FMAP) at the rate of non-expansion, which oscillates as low as 50%.

Scott’s proposal could add hundreds of billion savings in terms, in addition to almost a billion dollars, the Senate plan already saves Medicaid expenses.

“I do not see how the Senate will pass the room if [Rick Scott’s amendment] does not go to a minimum. This will probably take more discounts of spending than that, but it would bring us the majority, “Burlison told Fox News Digital, without commenting on the leaders of the GOP.

He predicted that the bill could be “killed” in the vote of the rule on the scale of the chamber otherwise.

Indeed, several members of the Freedom House caucus led to X to publicly urge the Senate Republicans to approve the Scott amendment.

“All Republican senators should vote yes on” the very reasonable elimination of Senator Rick Scott from the FMAP amendment FMAP of Medicaid, “said representative Clay Higgins, R-la., Published.

Fox News Digital contacted the office of President Mike Johnson to comment on the comments of the members of the Caucus of the Freedom Caucus.

In particular, the main provisions originally in the bill of the Chamber were withdrawn from the legislation so as not to be “compliant with Byrd”.

The “Byrd Bath” is a process during the process of budgetary reconciliation in which the Senate parliamentarian, a non -partisan official and unadred responsible for advising the Senate policy, is hidden by the bill to find out if it adheres to the strict budgetary directives of the reconciliation process.

Republicans use the process of budget reconciliation to advance Trump’s agenda on taxes, border, energy, defense and debt limit via a single legislation.

Budget reconciliation allows Republicans to bypass any democratic opposition to adopt its bill by lowering the Senate threshold for the adoption of 60 votes to 51.

They aim to have a bill on Trump’s office by July 4.

A GOP assistant told Fox News Digital: “The Senate version contains more in the economies in accordance with Byrd than the Chamber, and correctly marks the current tax policy as neutral income – and assumes the type of growth which was also massively underestimated the last time.”

The assistant noted that the Blanche House’s economic advisers’ Council said that the bill would generate $ 4.1 billions of economic growth thanks to tax permanence, which is more than the version of the house.

The Senate Republicans argue that the bill would lead to $ 1.6 billion of expenditure discounts over 10 years – above the House Freedom Caucus asked for a threshold of $ 1.5 Billion of dollars.
