‘Don’t see how it gets done’: Republican puts Senate GOP leader on notice



Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) questioned Senate Majority Leader John Thune's (R-SD) claim that they'll be ready to pass the budget bill by the end of the week.

The legislation, which President Donald Trump refers to as the "big, beautiful bill," has a hard deadline for July 4, according to the president, but it is growing less likely.

Burgess Everett, congressional bureau chief for Semafor, spoke to Johnson on Thursday about the likelihood of the bill passing this week.

“I don’t see how it gets done,” he said. “What I don’t want is all of a sudden: ‘the bill’s done, motion to proceed.’ Hold on, time out here.”

Top lawmakers often negotiate the bill without prior review, and others are expected to vote for it. This has became an issue in the House, where a provision in the bill barred states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next decade. Some Republicans were unaware the provision was included in the bill and have indicated they would not have voted to support it with that measure in place.

Johnson told Everett that if he can't review the bill, he's a no-vote.

He and a group of his fellow senators, which includes Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rick Scott (FL), "all have to be a yes before any of us are a yes."

Republicans then headed to the White House to give a status update on the bill.
