Greene Turns on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Amid GOP Backlash

In a stunning turn of events, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a steadfast Trump ally from Georgia, has publicly withdrawn her support for the much-touted One Big Beautiful Bill Act, admitting she hadn’t fully read the legislation before casting her vote. This bombshell revelation adds fuel to the already fiery debate surrounding the bill, which President Donald Trump has championed as a cornerstone of his agenda, promising enhanced border security, boosted American energy production, and significant tax cuts.

Greene isn’t alone in her reversal. Other prominent House GOP members, including Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, have also voiced regret over their initial support. Perry even praised Elon Musk’s sharp criticism of House leadership, hinting at the need for massive revisions before the bill returns from the Senate. The growing dissent among Trump’s inner circle in Congress signals a deepening rift within the party.

The bill, which narrowly passed the House by a single vote after intense late-night negotiations, has hit major roadblocks in the Senate. Republican senators have made it clear they’re not on board with its current form. At the heart of the opposition is Elon Musk, recently freed from his temporary role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk didn’t hold back, slamming the legislation as a 'disgusting abomination' riddled with excessive spending. His outspoken critique has rattled the GOP establishment and amplified the bill’s detractors.

While the White House remains steadfast—Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off concerns about Trump’s reaction to Musk’s comments—the numbers paint a troubling picture. The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will slash taxes by $3.7 trillion but balloon deficits by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, a bitter pill for fiscal conservatives already alarmed by the national debt surpassing $36 trillion.

Greene’s specific grievance centers on a lesser-known provision buried in the bill that bars states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade. Calling it a dangerous overreach and a violation of state rights, she’s vowed to vote against the bill if the clause isn’t removed by the Senate. 'We have no idea what AI will be capable of in 10 years,' Greene warned, highlighting the potential risks of unchecked technology.

As the Senate deliberates, the fate of Trump’s signature legislation hangs in the balance. What was once billed as a unifying triumph for the GOP now risks becoming a symbol of internal discord and hasty decision-making. The question remains: can this 'big, beautiful bill' survive the storm, or will it crumble under the weight of its own contradictions?
