Freedom Caucus Obstructionists Are Risking Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”

Freedom Caucus holdouts Lauren Boebert, Andrew Clyde, Scott Perry, Andy Ogles, and Chip Roy are threatening to tank the “One Big Beautiful Bill” as it heads to a House vote. We can only lose three votes, and these Freedom Caucus members are playing games, grandstanding on social media. What’s their plan? If they sink this bill, it’s back to the Senate, where it barely passed thanks to Lisa Murkowski’s Alaska carve-outs. No tax cuts, a government shutdown, and a Democratic midterm sweep could follow, along with Trump’s impeachment on the third day. This isn’t a perfect bill, but it’s Trump’s bill backed by 77 million votes.
