White House refutes claims by CBO, Senate GOP that ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will increase deficit
By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 3, 2025
The White House on Tuesday pushed back on Senate Republicans who oppose President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” because they say it will increase the federal deficit.
Speaking to reporters during the daily White House press briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rand Paul of Kentucky, saying they are talking “without having their facts together.”
She also took aim at the Congressional Budget Office, painting the nonpartisan agency that forecasts the cost of legislation as a left-leaning, anti-Trump entity that “has been historically wrong.”
“There hasn’t been a single staffer in the entire Congressional Budget Office that has contributed to a Republican [campaign] since the year 2000, but guess what, there have been many staffers within the Congressional Budget Office who have contributed to Democrat candidates in every single cycle,” she said. “So unfortunately, this is an institution in our country that has become partisan and political, and we are very confident in our own economic analysis of this bill, there is $1.6 trillion in savings.”
Ms. Leavitt also said the CBO was wrong in 2017 when it predicted that Mr. Trump’s tax cuts would generate half a trillion dollars less than they actually generated.
The comments are part of a full-court press Tuesday by the White House to persuade Senate Republicans to get behind Mr. Trump’s centerpiece legislation that would extend his tax cuts and boost defense and border security spending.
Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Trump lashed out against Mr. Paul on Truth Social.
“Rand Paul has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming. He loves voting ’no’ on everything, he thinks it’s good politics, but it’s not. THE BBB is a big WINNER!!” Mr. Trump posted.
