Senator Ron Johnson opposes Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”; seeks delay

MADISON, Wis (CIVIC MEDIA) – U.S. Senator Ron Johnson wants to delay the Trump Administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Johnson is going against fellow Republicans on the budget vote, releasing a report detailing how the proposal would put the U.S. in a massive $24 trillion dollar deficit over the next 10 years.

Johnson is also pushing back against President Trump’s claims that Republicans who oppose the budget would be “finished in politics.” Johnson says he’d be happy to be done if it stopped the bill, and trying to rush it to the Senate floor for a vote before the July 4 recess could stop any vote at all.

The Senator has been public with his critiques of Pres. Trump’s bill, commenting that the package would not earn his support until it significantly reduces spending and outlines a plan to maintain fiscal responsibility.
