Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, is doubling down on his concerns about a bill that would make sweeping changes to taxes, Medicaid, food stamps and more after it was passed last month in the Republican-led House at the urging of President Donald Trump.
The more-than-1,000-page bill narrowly cleared the lower chamber on May 22. Now, it faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where some conservatives have raised concerns about the legislation's cost.
"It's completely unsustainable," Johnson said in an interview on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures."
The bill is expected to add somewhere around $3 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years and swell the federal government's debt.
Still, the legislation would enact Trump's major campaign promises like eliminating taxes on workers' tips and overtime. It's likely to be one of the most significant pieces of legislation that will be passed during his second term in the Oval Office.
Bartiromo on June 1 pressed Johnson on whether he was prepared to "blow up President Trump's agenda."
