The Republicans of the Senate are fighting to bring the law on the Trump tax to the Senate. The Republicans had hoped to have a vote at 4 p.m. (ET) about an application for leadership so that this debate about the final passage could begin.
During the negotiation, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced that Republicans do not change the language about the cuts of Medicaid, he is not a voice of both the application for leadership and the final passage.
Here is the Tillis statement:
Everything that Tillis said about the effects of the Senate -Medicaid shortcuts was correct. The cuts in the Senate bill are worse than that in the house version, but the house bill is not much better.
The overall picture for Democrats is that the Democrats, if the Republican leadership of the Republican Senate makes significant changes to the legislation, only need two votes in the Senate to kill the final farewell of the law because Senator Rand (R-Ky) has already announced that he is not a voice.
There is a group of republican senators who continue to fluctuate back and forth after the last passage, which means that none of it is a business.
If the Republicans of the Senate refuse to change the Medicaid language, there is a dozen republicans in the temperate house who are ready to vote on the final passage no.
All of this seems shaky because it is.
The Republicans may skate and receive this legislation through the skin of their teeth through the congress, but they receive the political costs to saddle with such unpopular laws, many of them could cost their seats.
Democrats and the overwhelming majority of the Americans who want this legislation to fail are close to victory.
Senator Tillis could vote yes if the Republicans of the Senate weaken their cuts towards Medicaid, but there is no indication that it will be done. It looks like it is still the chance to put Trump's big bill into the trash can of history.
