BREAKING: GOP Senator Ron Johnson Says He Now Has The Votes to Stop The One Big Beautiful Bill (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 25, 2025 | Jordan Conradson

Posted on 05/25/2025 1:44:28 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

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.

And once the mid-terms turn out to be an utter landslide against the GOP, I give it les than 1 week from the new Congress for impeachment to move forward and be carried through. And this time, they will fully impeach Trump - and that will be the last duly-elected President in this nation’s history.

Sounds like Johnson is on the take.

Big bucks to thwart Trump and the American people.

I don’t know. You raise taxes in people making over, say, $400K, and you’re guaranteed income to start on debt reduction. You cut taxes for those people, and you risk increasing the debt. Maybe the tax cuts will help for the midterms, because people like tax cuts, and they don’t really understand the debt issue. But it’s becoming time to pay the piper.

Johnson is looking for a payoff, a sweetener. What he's going to get is primaried.

Do not count on that, Wisconsin is the home of the biggest liar, lying Ryan ... who now collects a honker of a paycheck spewing Fox lies ... Lying Ryan is symbolic of what is acceptable in Wisconsin ... I can say that as I have relatives living near Mad -ison .. and what goes for conservative in that state is a joke ... I have heard first hand since Democrat Governor James Doyle ... Ron Johnson bent a knee to the steal of election 2020 ... he is corrupt to the core.

Trump is plenty serious; Congress is the problem.

I am all for more cuts

And remember how some on here said Trump 2.0 learned from the mistakes of Trump 1.0. Seems like we can see the future of the Dems regaining power and our country is done.

“...until the President gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit.”
And what does Johnson says this looks like? Uncovering massive fraud and waste, giving Congress the data, then leave it to Congress to do nothing about it? I’m betting President Trump might be a little serious.

The Diva Party continues to prove what the Democrats say: Republicans can’t govern.

Republicans also oppose DOGE.

This may very well have been the last time I vote as a Republican.

“He SHOULD stop the bill. At least long enough until it can be fixed.”

It’s good to see some fiscal pressure on this bill.

They’re spending like drunken sailors with no cuts driven by DOGE reveals.

The White House will get most of what they want. But not all of it.

The house bill is poor.

It is and for the reasons you stated, but it only passed by one vote. Ronald Reagan was famously smart enough to take what he could get and come back for more later. Too many in the GOP are not!

That's why the Democrats keep moving the political center to the left.

The Lauffer curve refutes that assertion. Raising taxes on the highest brackets discourages investment and innovation. The dollars collected are a soon devoured drop in the bucket and they are stolen from investment.
Trump’s last term proved this point. The tax cuts generated significant revenue, much more than the projected costs. Targeting the rich who already pay the lion’s share of tax is a fool’s game.

“Laffer Curve does not say that “all tax cuts pay for themselves” as many people claim. What is true is that tax rate cuts will always lead to more growth, employment, and income for citizens, which are desirable outcomes leading to greater prosperity and opportunity. There is, after all, more to fiscal policy than simply maximizing government revenue.”
