Trump’s Mega Bill At Risk
Harris Says Senate’s Version Guts Key GOP Wins
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), who leads the House Freedom Caucus, is raising concerns that the Senate’s take on the widely discussed “One Big Beautiful Bill” represents a serious blow to fiscal conservatives and supporters of the America First movement.
Harris took to social media to slam the latest Senate proposal, calling it a bloated compromise that reverses key House victories. “It doesn’t do enough to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid,” he posted on X. “It revives elements of Biden’s Green New Scam and adds billions to the deficit. That’s not what the American people voted for.”
Medicaid Reform, Green Tax Rollbacks Watered Down
The Senate Finance Committee’s latest draft significantly weakens the House’s original push for meaningful federal spending reform. The Senate’s version reportedly softens Medicaid cuts and restores green-energy tax handouts—policies that many conservatives view as cornerstones of the failed Biden-era climate agenda.
One sticking point is the relaxing of restrictions on renewable energy subsidies. While the House version required climate projects to begin within 60 days to qualify for credits, the Senate now gives them until year’s end—raising red flags about accountability and backdoor corporate welfare.
Harris: “If the Senate Tries to Ram This Through, I’ll Vote NO”
Harris, who previously abstained by voting “present,” is drawing a firm red line this time. “If the Senate tries to ram this through without changes, I won’t stand by. I’ll vote NO,” he said.
His comments come as Senate Republicans face internal divisions over the bill, which includes sweeping tax cuts, spending realignments, and debt-limit adjustments. With a July 4 deadline looming, lawmakers are under pressure to finalize a version that can clear both chambers and reach President Trump’s desk.
Trump’s Agenda at Stake as GOP Base Watches Closely
The stakes are high. Conservatives across the country are watching to see whether Washington will finally get serious about cutting spending and dismantling the remnants of Biden’s green agenda.
Freedom Caucus members have long warned that any Senate backtracking would be a dealbreaker. After passing the House, many hardliners expressed doubts—only voting yes after receiving last-minute assurances from the White House.
Now, the question is whether those promises will be honored—or ignored.
