President Donald Trump met with House Republicans on Tuesday to get his “big, beautiful” reconciliation budget passed, though several Freedom Caucus and State and the Local Tax (SALT) Caucus members remain unconvinced without further negotiations.
Massie, a staunch fiscal conservative who is no stranger to butting heads with Trump and fellow representatives over his unwillingness to support government spending, said he is still a “hard no” on the bill, the Washington Examiner reported.
He noted that the president was likely able to convince some members of the Freedom and SALT caucuses to “give up their fights”
“I predict they get the bill passed,” the congressman said. “He was very personal, very persuasive.”
