GOP Sen. Schmitt: Big, Beautiful Bill Will Pass the Senate — ‘We Feel Pretty Positive About It’

EXCERPT:

SCHMITT: “And I think you’ve seen, at least even in the House version, the largest spending reduction for mandatory spending in 30 years. We also have another crack at discretionary spending, which are not part of this. We should be making those DOGE reforms permanent, so we’re going to have other things to do. But as it relates to this, I do think there’s critical mass, and I ultimately think the Senate’s going to come together after we sort of work through this to find some more savings, but also make sure that we’ve got, you know, the no tax on tips, we’ve got the no tax on overtime, all those things that President Trump ran on and received that historic mandate from the American people, winning the popular vote, sweeping the battleground states. So we’ll be in close communication with the White House on that, with our House partners. But in the Senate, it’s our turn to take a look at this and I think that everybody's very unified. We understand what a historic opportunity this is because we only need 51 votes. So if Republicans can hold together, we don’t need any votes from Democrats. We don’t expect that they’re going to suddenly come to their senses and vote for this kind of policy. So we've got some work to do, but we feel pretty positive about it."
