Moderate Republicans and hardline conservatives in the House are expressing increasing opposition to the Senate’s version of the “big, beautiful bill” just days before the lower chamber is set to consider the legislation, a daunting dynamic for GOP leaders as they race to meet their self-imposed Friday deadline.

The Senate on Monday kicked off the hours-long vote-a-rama with members considering a series of amendments that could make-or-break support in the lower chamber, including changes to Medicaid cuts, tax provisions and more. The upper chamber is expected to vote on final passage early Tuesday morning. As House lawmakers anxiously watch the Senate’s deliberations, they are fuming about the state of the legislation.

“On the text chains, on the phone calls, everyone is complaining,” one moderate House Republican, who requested anonymity to discuss the private conversations, told The Hill. “There’s a few little provisions people will say something positive about, but no one is happy with the Senate version.” “It’s amazing to a lot of us — how did it get so much f—ing worse?” they added.

The lawmaker said GOP leadership and the White House are making calls to skeptical Republicans, and that members in more conservative districts are reaching out to moderates to raise issues with some provisions — underscoring the depth of concerns within the conference. At least six moderate House Republicans are planning to vote “no” on the Senate bill in its current form, The Hill has learned, as they air concerns about changes to Medicaid and the rollback of green-energy tax credits, among other provisions.

We know there are maybe 40 seats at play but they’re constantly campaigning.

3. This is the result of Trump's my-way-or-the-highway no compromises ruling.

Everyone is forced to swallow the extremes, with no spoonful of sugar.

4. Normally, I think of the Senate as the place that absurd House bills get sent to

turn them into something more in touch with reality. That has totally not been the case here.
