WASHINGTON ― Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” went down in a big, ugly flop as conservatives voted against the measure in the House Budget Committee on Friday.

The bill would cut food and health care programs by $1 trillion to help pay for nearly $5 trillion in tax cuts representing President Donald Trump’s chief domestic policy goal of his second term.

Conservatives want the cuts to go deeper and warned Thursday they would vote against the bill during committee action on Friday, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pressed forward anyway in hopes of passing the bill through the House by Memorial Day.

On Friday morning before the vote, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) indicated he was still unhappy with the bill despite ongoing negotiations with leadership.

“All of us are very disappointed in the progress, or lack of,” Norman told reporters.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), another hard-liner, suggested the committee take a break instead of proceeding to the vote. He spoke out against the bill during the committee meeting.

“I’m not going to sit here and say everything’s hunky-dory,” Roy said, lamenting that federal budget deficits would continue to grow if the legislation passed, and that its “work requirements” for able-bodied Medicaid recipients wouldn’t kick in until 2029.

Trump made a late attempt to bolster support for the bill.

“We don’t need ‘GRANDSTANDERS’ in the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning. “STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE! It is time to fix the MESS that Biden and the Democrats gave us.”

Even if the hard-liners get on board, Speaker Johnson will still have to win over a group of moderates upset that the bill doesn’t enlarge a tax deduction for homeowners in high-tax blue states like New York and California.
