Axios - House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is facing an explosion of internal anger over the Senate's changes to President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," Axios' Andrew Solender and Kate Santaliz report.
Johnson has just days to pass the bill before Republicans' July 4 deadline (that's Friday!) — which will require flipping dozens of "no" votes and overcoming numerous procedural hurdles.
"Our bill has been completely changed. ... It's a non-starter," Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) bemoaned to reporters today.
- One House Republican, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Axios there are "well over 20" GOP lawmakers threatening to vote against the bill.
Right-wing House Republicans are upset that the Senate bill is projected to add more to the deficit than the House version would. "They're backing away from the spending cuts, the spending restraint. They're backing away from the reforms that we think makes the math work," Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said in a post on X.
