North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis on Tuesday warned fellow GOP senators during a closed-door meeting Tuesday that the Big Beautiful Bill could be for their party what Obamacare was for Dems in the 2010 Midterms, a poundstone hanging around their necks, Punchbowl News reports.
Tillis was especially worried about Medicare cuts, to which Majority Leader John Thune said they’re the only way to lower taxes for rich people. Mitch McConnell then said “failure isn’t an option” and added “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.”
