Key GOP holdouts signal displeasure with Senate’s tax and Medicaid blueprint
"Several Senate Republicans who have withheld their support for the party’s massive tax and spending package signaled on Monday that they weren’t swayed by details unveiled by GOP leaders earlier in the day.
The text released by the Senate Finance Committee Monday included some of the most controversial issues Republicans have been wrestling with — including Medicaid, taxes and green energy tax credits — and contained a number of departures from the House-passed version of the legislation.
But Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), two preeminent critics of the bill, made clear they are dissatisfied by changes.
Johnson, who has been perhaps the most vocal critic of the emerging package, did not sugarcoat his feelings after emerging from a meeting of the Senate GOP conference held to brief members on the bill."
