Chip Roy on Senate changes to GOP megabill: ‘Travesty’
- The Senate narrowly passed a $4 trillion GOP tax and spending bill on Tuesday with a 51-50 vote, broken by Vice President J.D. Vance.
- The bill includes major tax cuts, funding for border security, and $11.1 billion to reimburse Texas for Operation Lone Star costs but faces opposition over deficit concerns.
- Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy opposed the legislation, calling it flawed due to increased deficits, last-minute provisions supporting green energy subsidies, and Medicaid benefits for undocumented immigrants.
- Roy criticized the Senate for letting them down and cautioned that without revisions, the bill’s chances of passing the House are significantly reduced; he emphasized the need to amend and improve the legislation before its approval.
- House GOP leaders pressed to pass the bill quickly amid dissent from Roy and allies, suggesting the outcome will test Trump's ability to secure key policy agendas.
