Washington – As the Republicans of the House of Representatives rush to corner the votes to approve a massive bill on the agenda of President Donald Trump, his Senate counterparts are making it clear that the emerging package will not fly as written when they arrive.
Senator John Hoeven, RN.D., was categorical that the product that comes from several camera committees cannot approve the Senate as it is currently.
“No. We will make changes,” said Hoeven. “We have been talking to the house and there are many things that we agree … but there will be changes in several areas.”
He would not surprise the members of the camera that his colleagues in the Senate want to put their own digital footprints in the final multimillionaire package. But Republican senators have already begun to identify a variety of provisions to the extent of the House of Representatives to which they are directed to reviews, from medicality concerns to clean energy funds to spectrum policies and general red ink.
Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, faced the legislation of the emerging house this week, saying that the United States budget deficit will exploit.
“I don’t see any scenario in which it is going to be poor. That is my problem,” he told NBC News. “For my calculation, this will increase the deficit by $ 4 billion.”
“The amount they seek to reduce expenditure is approximately 1.3%. It is a rounding error. It is completely inappropriate,” Johnson told that federal expenditure is reduced at least to pre-pandemic levels.
Republicans have 53 senators, which means that they can only lose three votes before the bill collapses in the chamber, since they have no hope of winning democrats. They have already lost Senator Rand Paul, Republican of R-Ky., Who wants more pronounced cuts. And the Democrats are marking heat in the attempts of the Republican Party to reduce energy financing in the inflation reduction law, highlighting the benefits of economic and national security of the law of 2022.
Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alask of employment in the energy sector and in our broader economy. “
The Chamber Committee assigned to write the fiscal provisions of the package that seeks to repeal significant subsidies for electric vehicles and aims to eliminate the elimination of other tax energy incentives that were approved in the Law on Inflation Reduction, which was signed by the then President Joe Biden.
On Wednesday, Murkowski told NBC News that she, John Curtis, R-UTAH, Thom Tillis, R-C and Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, “made it clear that we needed to adopt a cautious approach to the tax credits of energy and ensure not to lose some of the good investments we built.”
Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Mo., has also warned against Medicaid’s cuts, since the Chamber’s Bill seeks to impose work requirements and financing limits of the supplier that critics have been expelled.
“I will not support Medicaid’s benefits,” Hawley told NBC News on Tuesday, adding that he has “concerns with the pieces” of the Chamber’s bill for what he would mean for rural hospitals in his state.
He later wrote in X: “I do not want to see rural hospitals close their doors because financing was reduced. I also don’t like the idea of a hidden tax on poor workers. That is why I am in this not on the camera’s bill in its current form.”
Hawley’s concerns are shared by Murkowski, as well as Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, who voted against the budgetary frame last month, citing concerns about Medicaid’s cuts damaging her state.
Another issue, the Senate Republicans wish to review are the provisions that the president of the energy and trade of the House of Representatives, Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., He said that he would renew “the spectrum auction authority of the Federal Communications Commission and provide resources to modernize federal information technology systems”, and would save $ 88 billion.
“I have had the opportunity to look at the language on the subject of the spectrum. It clearly has to be corrected,” Senator Mike Rounds, RS.D.
Senator Deb Fischer, Republican from Neb., Said that politics needs to “go much further, much more” and that “he cannot accept it as he left the” Energy and Commerce Committee of the House of Representatives.
The speaker Mike Johnson, republican of La-La., Hopes to direct the measure through the Chamber Budget Committee on Friday and approve the entire bill through the Chamber, with some changes, before the day of the fallen.
Senator Thom Tillis, RN.C., who faces re -election next year in a competitive state, said the Senate will need to review the camera’s language on Medicaid cuts, clean energy money and other policies before making a decision.
Tillis also said that the Senate is not excited about the policy of the bill of the House of Representatives to raise the limit of the deduction of state and local taxes to $ 30,000, compared to $ 10,000. Unlike the camera, there are no Republican senators in the blue states of high tax where “salt” is a big problem.
“I think it’s an area where we will need some consideration,” Tillis said.
