Salt Lake City, UT – Today, Americans for Prosperity – Utah (AFP-UT) applauded Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) for voting to advance the budget resolution in the Senate, a necessary step in extending President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This resolution allows congressional committees to begin drafting legislation to extend the 2017 tax cuts and ensure hardworking families and small businesses are not burdened with unnecessary tax hikes.

So I did a news search and found that he is spearheading the Senate's budget resolution on spending (the one many here are not exactly comfortable with) and Americans for Prosperity are promoting him.
I found it really strange he's completely the opposite of his friend Rand Paul who is voting against it.
Has Mike Lee sold out his principles? Why isn't he voting with Rand on this? It makes a huge difference in the perennial 50/50 Senate
Look at this from a local newspaper

He’s going on foreign trips with the VP .
Don’t get me wrong I like both of them but they have got to Mike Lee in terms of his vote. That much is clear.
Disappointing...
You are unbelievable. If you’re not trashing Trump and his ideas to cut trade deficits via tariffs, then you’re here now applauding Rand Paul for his opposition to Trump’s tax cuts for Americans.
Tell me again how you’re not a TDS troll.
I’m fed up with hos passive aggressive nonsense.
