Senate Republicans are threatening to block Donald Trump's tax-cut bill unless he significantly reduces government spending. Senator Ron Johnson warned that they have enough votes to stop the bill, citing concerns about a projected $4 trillion increase to the national debt. Other Republicans, including Rand Paul, also voiced opposition, criticizing the bill's insufficient spending cuts and potential impact on Medicaid, affecting millions.
