Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) warned that President Donald Trump‘s vast tax and spending bill still “does not yet meet the moment” after it narrowly advanced out of a key committee during a rare Sunday night vote.

The House Budget Committee passed the reconciliation bill by 17-16 votes, but four Republican holdouts—including Roy—only voted “present.” This allowed the bill to move forward while they demonstrated their opposition to the package in its current form.

…

But the Republican majority in the House is slight, and representatives have different political calculations to make, leading to divisions on issues like Medicaid spending and deficit-financed tax cuts that make passing the bill a tough task.

There’s still hope that this “hideously ugly bill” that taxes the poor to feed the rich can be blocked or fixed.

Chip Roy fires new warning as Trump’s big bill moves forward: “scam”
