President Donald Trump on Tuesday turned up the pressure on Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., over his opposition to the "big, beautiful bill" that includes many of his top legislative priorities.
Paul, a fiscal hawk, has repeatedly criticized the GOP's penchant for passing single legislative vehicles instead of the 12 appropriations bills. He has further taken aim at the "big, beautiful bill" over its reported impact on the deficit. Trump, for his part, suggested that Paul lacked a practical alternative and was grandstanding.
