A trio of Senate conservatives is threatening to derail President Donald Trump's sweeping legislative spending package unless GOP leaders agree to steep spending cuts and rollbacks of green energy subsidies and Medicaid.

Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rick Scott (R-FL) and Mike Lee (R-UT) are demanding significant changes to the Senate version of what Trump has dubbed his "big, beautiful bill," warning that they will vote as a bloc against the measure if their conditions are not met.
