() It’s a big week for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill as it faces potential changes at the hands of the Senate.

The Senate is reviewing the bill and will decide whether to make substantial or minor modifications to meet Trump’s goal of signing it by the Fourth of July.

One of the changes being looked at is deeper spending cuts, which several key Republicans are in favor of. Other Republicans have raised concerns, specifically cuts to Medicaid and food stamps that go too far.

Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the White House early this week and has been dialing senators for one-on-one chats. But some Senators feel the bill doesn’t go far enough, according to ‘s Joe Khalil. They include Ron Johnson, R, Wis., Rick Scott, R, Fla., and Rand Paul, R, Ky., who say the bill adds to the deficit.

“I don’t make it personal at all, said Paul. “I like the president, supported the president. In fact, I’m for the tax cuts. I’m for a lot of the bill. But I can’t in good conscience give up every principle that I stand for.”

Several Republican senators also acknowledged that for the bill to get over the finish line, Trump will have to insert himself into the discussion.

“They could get my vote, and I could vote for the package if they take out the debt ceiling and vote on it separately,” Paul added.

Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill passed through the House of Representatives by one single vote.
