The Senate’s newly revised version of President Donald Trump’s flagship spending package, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” has drawn immediate backlash from House Republicans, who claim the changes undermine key Trump priorities and jeopardize the bill’s future in the lower chamber.
The Senate passed its version of the bill with narrow margins late Monday, but it didn’t take long for GOP lawmakers in the House to begin voicing their disapproval. According to The New York Times, several conservative representatives wasted no time in denouncing the revised legislation.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) was among the first to criticize the Senate’s version, calling it a “dud” that “guts key Trump provisions.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) echoed the sentiment, slamming the updated bill for failing to go far enough in cutting clean energy tax credits. “It’s a deal-killer of an already bad deal,” Roy declared.
Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) added his voice to the growing chorus of opposition, taking issue with what he described as fiscally irresponsible changes that “increase the national debt and the deficit.” He warned that the Senate’s alterations would make “passage in the House difficult.”
“We cannot in good faith pass a bill through our chamber that hinges on cut corners and earmarks,” Stutzman wrote on social media. “The American people won’t stand for it.” The proposed revisions, aimed at securing enough bipartisan support in the Senate, have instead exposed deep divisions within the GOP over spending priorities, especially as many House Republicans remain firmly aligned with Trump’s original vision for the package.
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) made his opposition plain and simple when asked by reporters if he would support the megabill. “No,” Norman said — a response he repeated when asked whether he would even vote for a procedural motion to bring the bill to the floor for debate.
The House GOP’s sharp resistance presents a major hurdle for Trump’s administration, which has championed the legislation as a centerpiece of its economic and infrastructure agenda.
With tensions mounting and internal party divisions on full display, House Republicans now face the difficult task of reconciling their priorities with a Senate version many view as a departure from Trump’s original goals. As debate continues, the future of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” remains uncertain, and its path to final passage is increasingly in jeopardy.
