On Sunday, Johnson made an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union and told Jake Tapper that there are enough Republicans in the Senate to “stop the process until the President gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit.”
WATCH:
How many other Republican Senators do you think share your concerns and are willing to work to make major changes to this bill?
I think we have enough to stop the process until the President gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit.

Sure. Top Democrat senators often announce they can stop their President’s bills. They do it all the time.
Which is probably their plan all along
Johnson is not a very smart person. Principle is good until you use it to destroy everything. What die hards like Johnson don’t get is that this is not a perfect world, you do not get everything you want and shouldn’t be in politics is he isn’t willing to compromise — especially with his own party.
This is the plan..some of these Senators want Trump gone, out of office..they NEVER want power, they like it when commies control everything then they can sit back and not have to actually DO ANYTHING to fix the problems we have. What Johnson wants, and ironic since he voted for EVERY DAMN THING Biden wanted including sending BILLIONS to Ukraine, is for Trumps tax cuts to end, the taxes go up on everyone and the Dems win the midterms easily and poof, Trump’s impeached, all going according to the GOP plan
He SHOULD stop the bill. At least long enough until it can be fixed.
Johnson also refused to Subpoena Hunter Biden or any of his partners during the first 4 year Trump term. No real Biden investigation on their watch.
Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham
Trump’s Mid Term 2026 song...Trump did it his way...
And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too
Few to mention
I did what I had to do
Did he cut anything when Biden was president?
Senator Johnson,
You pass this and then you start working with President Trump and DOGE to put together a budget. This is just a stop gap measure, Senator Its All About Me.
I suspect he’s in the pay of the open borders cartel folks.
What cuts is he proposing, exactly?
Or is it tax increases he prefers by blocking Trumps bill.
Seems the courts block Trump and DOGE on almost every attempt to cut fraud.
Is Johnson supporting DOGE?
Is he supporting tariffs to bring down the trade deficit…or not?
Is he pushing the Fed to cut interest rates and save billions in refinancing $9 trillion in debt?
What is Johnson doing to grow the economy?
What exactly is the Johnson plan?
Now for the translation: Johnson is organizing a block to the bill until he gets whatever pork and pet projects he wants in the bill.
Nice. Add some conservatism to the bill. Cut spending and put DOGE into law. The house bill is poor.
Johnson is looking for a payoff, a sweetener. What he’s going to get is primaried.
Statesmanship is what you describe - and it has been dead for decades.
It’s always next time. Let’s let the senate lead the way on conservatism since the House utterly failed. It’s a Big Government Spending Billl in its current form.
I despise Congress.
