Description
Only six months into the job, Senate Majority Leader John Thune faces a massive challenge as he tries to quickly pass President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax and spending cuts package. While most of his Republican senators are inclined to vote for it, Thune can still only lose four votes. To get it done by July 4, the well-liked South Dakota senator has to figure out how to balance the demands of different Republicans. On Capitol Hill on Thursday, Republican Senators weighed in on the bill as negotiations continue. Sen. Katie Britt, (R) Alabama said she’s excited to have the opportunity to deliver for the American people. “I'm excited about where it's going. I think the Republican conference is unified. We understand the mission and we understand what we need to do to help America continue to thrive and prosper,” Britt said. Sen. Thom Tillis, (R) North Carolina, said he’s sympathetic to the idea of more cuts. “I'm sympathetic to more cuts. I agree with Ron Johnson and others, we got to find more more reductions to really address some of the legitimate concerns of some of the Senate members,” Tillis said. Sen. John Kennedy, (R) Louisiana, says he sees the outcome going one of two ways. “We're in the what I call the lively discussion stage, and this thing can go in one of two directions. It can go in a positive direction, where nobody's completely happy but we put together something we can all support, or door number 2 is it turns into a crime scene. And I'm an optimist, I'm optimist who worries, but I think we'll ultimately end up with a bill we can pass,” Kennedy said.
