Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, voted against the GOP budget proposal on Tuesday night, siding with Democrats as the only GOP no vote.
What To Know
Massie voiced his opposition to the budget ahead of the vote saying on X (formerly Twitter), “The GOP budget extends the 5 yr. tax holiday we’ve been enjoying, but because it doesn’t cut spending much, it increases the deficit by over $300 billion/yr. compared to letting tax cuts expire. Over 10 years, this budget will add $20 trillion to US debt.”

Republicans were split over the budget in the past few weeks as many wanted to advance President Donald Trump‘s agenda, but others were concerned about the country’s growing debt.
The House ultimately passed the proposal 217-215.
