Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) said on Monday passing President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the House will likely “be a challenge.”

“I do think you’re gonna have some challenges on the House side. We can only lose three votes,” Steube told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.”

“You’ve got 218 you got to get to, we can only lose three, if we lose four the bill’s dead, and you’ve got things in here that moderates don’t like, and you’ve got things in here that conservatives don’t like. So, it is certainly going to be a challenge.”

House moderate Republicans and hard-line conservatives have recently expressed rising opposition to the Senate’s version of the “big, beautiful bill” only days before the lower chamber is set to consider the legislation.

Democrats have already expressed their own vehement distaste for the bill, with members like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) calling it a “big bad betrayal bill” and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) saying it is an “evil bill.”

“If Republicans pass this big bad betrayal bill, they are quite literally ensuring that more poor Americans will DIE so that billionaires and giant corporations can get a tax cut,” Jayapal said in a post on the social platform X Monday.

Former close Trump ally Elon Musk said Monday he would support primary challengers to any Republicans who backed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” Musk said on X.
