Massie labels House-passed Trump policy bill a ‘debt bomb ticking’
- Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio voted against President Trump's tax-and-spend bill passed by the House in early 2025, challenging its fiscal approach.
- Their opposition grew from concerns that the bill would sharply increase near-term deficits without reliable future restraint, despite heavy pressure from Trump and GOP leaders.
- Massie called the bill a 'debt bomb ticking' and argued it would add about $30 trillion to the national debt over ten years, while Davidson doubted promised savings would occur.
- The bill narrowly passed the House with a 216-214 vote and features a debt ceiling hike totaling $4 trillion; despite concerns about escalating deficits and fiscal risks, Trump praised it as "one big, beautiful bill."
- Massie and Davidson face possible primary challenges as their stance highlights deep GOP divisions over fiscal policy amid questions about the party's commitment to conservatism.
