Chip Roy warns Senate not to raise deficits in ‘big, beautiful bill’

Published



As the legislation dubbed by Republicans the “one big, beautiful bill” moves to the Senate, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) warned the upper chamber of Congress not to raise deficits.

The massive spending and tax cut bill passed in the House on Thursday morning, 215-214. Roy was one of the GOP members who voted in favor of the legislation after some hesitation over the effects it would have on the federal deficit. On CNBC’s Squawk Box, Roy said that, similar to the SALT caucus standing up for its priorities in the bill, deficit hawks will ensure their priorities are kept intact.
