Republican Senator tells House not to vote on bill she just voted for
Sen. Lisa Murkowski backs Trump's megabill but urges House to return it for fixes, citing Medicaid cuts and tax impacts on Alaska.
Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to the Senate for further work.
"My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we're not there yet," Murkowski told reporters today.
Murkowski's vote was pivotal in the Senate's razor-thin 51–50 passage of the bill. The Alaska senator had been the focus of intense lobbying by GOP leaders, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to secure her support amid concerns over Medicaid cuts and food assistance reductions. The bill now heads to the House, where its future remains uncertain.

Anyone ask her point blank why she voted for it then?
Someone said she didn't know that they removed the whaling tax exemption she had them add in. But like, she can't be that dumb/unobservant, right?
So she was completely fine with everything else, it’s only because of one small exemption that she thinks people shouldn’t vote for it… riiiight.
