Senate Republicans Face Internal Divisions Over GOP Megabill Amid New Medicaid Cuts

Senate Republicans are experiencing deep divisions over the GOP megabill, with some predicting its failure due to internal disagreements and external pressures.

Sen. Ron Johnson and others express concerns over insufficient deficit reduction and potential Medicare cuts, now compounded by significant Medicaid cuts in the Senate version.

Sen. Thune is advocating for the bill's passage by July 4, despite skepticism from fiscal hawks and lobbyists regarding its viability.

Senators are urging the House to accept the revised bill without changes, highlighting a looming clash as the deadline approaches.

Proposed changes include making business tax breaks permanent and increasing the child tax credit, but some senators worry these may not align with Trump's agenda.
