GOP Senator Blasts Trump’s Bill Moments After Voting for It

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski criticized President Donald Trump’s megabill just moments after delivering the key vote to pass the legislation in the Senate.

The president’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in the Senate 51 to 50 on Tuesday, with Vice President J.D. Vance breaking the tie.

Murkowski was one of the Republican holdouts who voted “yes” on the legislation after GOP Senate leaders scrambled to make a series of changes to the bill to ease her concerns over its impact on health care and food assistance cuts in her state.

The Alaska lawmaker called the vote “agonizing” but told reporters who swarmed around her after she cast it for the legislation that the work was far from over.

Some of you think Rand is attention seeking you couldn't be more wrong. Lisa M is the worst. Rand was never going to be the deciding vote...

I believe politicians of both parties know if they actually solve a problem there will no longer be a need for them. And they may be right.

Sure, they can primary her. It’s been tried before. But then she just runs again as a “write-in” and peels off the GOP voters who like her and adds on support from Dems and independents and wins.

No one implied that Rand is the only attention whore. The uni-Party is stuffed to the gills with them.

“Rand Paul voted NO on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” He was one of only three Republican senators (alongside Susan Collins and Thom Tillis) to join all Democrats in opposing the legislation.”

Murkey is a Trump loyalist today and hero. Your maverick messiah Rand is a big fat zero. Murkey came through, while Rand clown blew.
Plus Murkey’s hairdo looks better than the Rand’s.

Rand got billions for Alaska, nothing for his state. Way to go, Sen Paul.

Joe Miller primaried her many years ago and then she won a rigged write-in campaign in the general. She got primaried last time but ‘won’ because of unconstitutional ‘ranked choice’ voting. The b just refuses to leave.
