Republican senators Susan Collins, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis have become the latest to express opposition to President Trump’s landmark legislation. The lawmakers have joined an increasing number of conservative voices opposing the bill, which is seen as a critical piece of the administration’s policy agenda.
Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, has previously taken a stance against some of Trump’s policies, while both Paul and Tillis, who are more conservative in nature, have shown resistance to the bill. Trump has publicly criticized their opposition, suggesting it could hinder the legislative process.
Despite their differences, these senators have remained united in their stance, indicating a potential shift within the Republican Party. The decision has sparked debate over the party’s future direction and how much sway the president’s agenda might have over the Senate.
