WASHINGTON D.C., DC — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul won’t support President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” as is, and he’s not alone. “I want to see the tax cuts made permanent, but I also want to see the $5 trillion in new debt removed from the bill,” Paul wrote on social media Tuesday. “At least four of us in the Senate feel this way.”
He said Kentuckians sent him to D.C. to “fight reckless debt,” adding he wouldn’t support an increase to the debt ceiling.
