Senator Ron Johnson said on Sunday that he thinks he had enough GOP colleagues on board with his opposition to the “big, beautiful bill” of the house to follow his progress and make changes.
The remarks of the Republican of Wisconsin underline the potentially difficult path for the comprehensive domestic policy package, which the house narrowly passed last week.
When House spokesman Mike Johnson asks his Senate colleagues not to curb too much with the invoice, fiscal Hawks in the Senate have signaled that they will not support the package in its current form.
“We have enough to stop the process until the president takes it seriously to spend and reduce the deficit,” said Senator Johnson in CNN's “state of the Union”.

Senator Johnson and some of his colleagues from the Senate have expressed concerns that the house law will lead to a jumping federal deficits, a criticism that spokesman Johnson has deleted aside.
Senator Johnson said that the “first goal” of the budget reconciliation process should be “to reduce the deficit, actually increases this.”
He repeatedly said that the Federal Government had to return to “pre-Pandemic expenses”.
Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., Also on Sunday, the spending cuts in the Bill house called “Wimpy and Anemic”.
“But despite the difficult and anemic cuts, I would still support the bill if they didn't explode the debts,” said Paul about “Fox News Sunday”.
“The problem is that mathematics do not add up, they will explode the debts,” he continued.
An analysis of the impartial congress household office stated that the comprehensive package could increase the deficit by 3.8 trillion dollars in the next decade.
