Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a fiscal hawk who has openly criticized House Republicans' reconciliation bill, predicted Sunday that there are enough in his flock to stop the process "until the president gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit.

Republicans lack the necessary support in the Senate to get President Trump’s marquee One Big Beautiful Bill Act over the finish line in its current form, Sen. Ron Johnson warned. Johnson (R-Wis.) has been one of the most outspoken critics of the megabill’s impact on deficits alongside Sen.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has raised alarms about the potential passage of President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' in the Senate. Johnson claims that there are 'sufficient' Republican votes to halt the bill unless there are concessions on spending cuts.

President Donald Trump is losing support for his 'big, beautiful bill,' a budget measure that would add $3.3 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade.

In the House, President Trump can threaten a primary, and those guys want to keep their seats. I understand the pressure," Johnson said. "Can’t pressure me that way."

Republican budget hawks faced painful calculations Wednesday as the House inched toward advancing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” that would saddle more generations with trillions of dollars in debt.
