Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo interviewed Sen. Rick Scott regarding the recent budget bill that has passed the House but is struggling for Senate approval. Despite President Trump's support, the lack of substantial spending cuts raised concerns among Republicans, including Scott. He expressed a desire to support the bill but emphasized the importance of addressing the explosive deficits it would create. Scott highlighted the necessity for detailed budget evaluations and expressed a commitment to fiscal responsibility, asking for specific proposals to justify his support.
First off, I want to be a yes. I want to get the bill done. But we have to deal with the explosive deficits the bill would create.
American taxpayers have said they don't want to pay more taxes, so we've got to go through every line in the budget.
We can allocate dollars and do the right things for the American public. What I'm asking is for specifics.
We haven't had the opportunity to vote on it in the Senate. I clearly would codify the DOGE cuts.
