First on Fox: A Republican representing a portion of Southern California will oppose President Donald Trump’s “big and beautiful bill” if there is no House’s original language for Medicaid to return to her room, a source familiar with her mind told Fox News digital numbers.
R-Calif. Rep. Young Kim is one of several moderates who released the latest text of massive bills in the Senate that pushed Trump’s agenda for tax, immigration, defense, energy and national debt.
Two other sources told Fox News numbers that as many as 20 to 30 moderate Republicans are working with R-La. Speaker Mike Johnson contacted and was seriously concerned about the Senate bill.

The Senate issued nearly 1,000 pages of bills by midnight Friday night.
It made some significant changes to the housing version of the bill, which passed the chamber with just one vote in May, especially on Medicaid and Green Energy Credit.
One of their problems is the difference in provider tax rates and state-guided payments, both countries used to help fund their share of Medicaid costs.
