President Donald Trump believes Republican House members who voted against his “one big, beautiful bill” should be primaried, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.
Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson were the only Republicans to vote against the bill. When a reporter asked if the president wants them to be primaried, Leavitt replied, “I believe he does.”
“I don’t think he likes to see grandstanders in Congress,” she continued. “‘What’s the alternative?’ I would ask those members of Congress. Did they want to see a tax hike? Did they want to see our country go bankrupt? That’s the alternative by them trying to vote no.”
