Senate Majority Leader John Thune is under fire from fellow Republicans after unveiling a sweeping tax and spending bill that includes deeper-than-expected Medicaid cuts, leaving even GOP allies blindsided.
As part of President Donald Trump's new "big, beautiful bill" initiative, Senate Republicans introduced a revised tax and spending package aimed at making several corporate tax cuts permanent while slashing government spending. The bill follows months of tense negotiations and was expected to mirror the House version, which already drew concern for steep Medicaid reductions.
