Republican Sen. Ron Johnson 'satisfied' with Trump's bill after initial opposition
- Last Saturday night, Republican Senator Ron Johnson switched to a yes on a key procedural vote, citing satisfaction with Trump's commitment to reduce federal spending.
- Initially, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson opposed the bill due to concerns about its projected deficit spending, criticizing its long-term fiscal impact before later supporting it after discussions.
- Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add over $2.3 trillion to the deficit through 2028, while KFF finds Medicaid work requirements would produce major cuts.
- After the procedural vote, senators face extended debate and amendments before the bill returns to the House for final approval.
- Looking ahead, the Congressional Budget Office projects 11.8 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034 under the bill, which includes tax cuts, deportation funding, and spending reductions.
