20 Republicans Turn On Trump
Washington, D.C. – With President Trump’s landmark tax and spending bill gaining traction in Congress, Democrats are scrambling behind the scenes to stall its momentum—and they’re openly admitting they’re counting on weak Republicans to do their dirty work.
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) appeared on MSNBC Tuesday night and revealed the left’s strategy: delay, protest, and pressure Republicans to back down. According to Frost, roughly 20 GOP lawmakers are “on the fence” about the bill, and Democrats are working overtime to push them into flipping.
“They can only lose three or four [votes], and it’s done,” Frost said, acknowledging the razor-thin margin needed to pass the legislation in the House.
The bill—backed by President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)—would extend Trump’s wildly popular tax cuts, slash wasteful spending, and rein in bloated entitlement programs like Medicaid and food stamps. Naturally, Democrats are furious.
Frost lashed out at Republicans who support the bill, claiming many just “pretend” to oppose it for campaign optics.
“They put up a little fight so they have footage for their ads—and then they fold,” he sneered.
He went on to describe the Democrats’ game plan: delay the vote, unleash activists on social media, and flood GOP offices with protests, phone calls, and letters to create the illusion of mass opposition.
“Every minute we keep this bill from passing, it becomes even more unpopular,” Frost admitted.
The House reconvened Wednesday to iron out differences with the Senate version of the bill. GOP leadership is pushing hard for a final vote by Friday—President Trump’s Independence Day deadline.
This bold legislation is seen as a major cornerstone of Trump’s America First economic agenda. It delivers long-overdue tax relief to working families and retirees while cutting billions in unnecessary spending.
But for Democrats, it’s a nightmare. The bill not only restores Trump’s winning policies—it exposes the dysfunction of the Biden-Harris era and their addiction to big-government handouts.
Despite Frost’s confidence, Trump’s leadership is holding strong, and with public support growing, conservatives are hopeful the bill will cross the finish line.
