Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has called ongoing deliberations over President Donald Trump‘s One Big Beautiful Bill Act a “s*** show.”
Speaking on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast, the Georgia Republican slammed voting on the Trump-backed spending plan and said the legislation would not pass in the House of Representatives.
Newsweek has contacted Greene via email outside of regular office hours.
Why It Matters
Greene has consistently been a vocal support of Trump and the MAGA movement since she joined Congress in 2021,but she has recently positioned herself away from the president over foreign policy and the spending bill, which she came out against in June because it included a provision that would ban states from regulating artificial intelligence.

What To Know
On Tuesday, the Senate narrowly passed “the one big beautiful” bill after more than 24 hours of debate meaning it will now return to the House for further deliberation. Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote.
After it passed, Greene told Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, that the fight to stop the bill’s passage was “far from over” and said “there’s no way” it would pass in the House of Representatives.
“It is really a dire situation,” she said. “We’re on a time clock that’s been really set on us, so we have a lot of pressure—and then also given the fact that there’s 435 members of Congress and it’s hard for us to get to an agreement on anything. So this whole thing is—I don’t know what to call it—it’s a s*** show. And I’m sorry for saying that. I know we’re not supposed to say that on the air, but that’s truly what it is.”
The president has set a deadline of July 4 for lawmakers to deliver the finished bill to his desk
What People Are Saying
Trump celebrated the bill passing the Senate on Truth Social: “Almost all of our Great Republicans in the United States Senate have passed our ‘ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.’ It is no longer a ‘House Bill’ or a ‘Senate Bill’. It is everyone’s Bill. There is so much to be proud of, and EVERYONE got a major Policy WIN — But, the Biggest Winner of them all will be the American People, who will have Permanently Lower Taxes, Higher Wages and Take Home Pay, Secure Borders, and a Stronger and More Powerful Military. Additionally, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Benefits are not being cut, but are being STRENGTHENED and PROTECTED from the Radical and Destructive Democrats by eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse from those Programs.”
In a joint statement, House Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republican leadership said: “Republicans were elected to do exactly what this bill achieves: secure the border, make tax cuts permanent, unleash American energy dominance, restore peace through strength, cut wasteful spending, and return to a government that puts Americans first. This bill is President Trump’s agenda, and we are making it law.”
Nonprofit The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget called the bill “a failure of responsible governing” estimating it would add more than $4 trillion to the national debt through 2034.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said: “Today’s vote will haunt our Republican colleagues for years to come as the American people see the damage that is done—as hospitals close, as people are laid off, as costs go up, as the debt increases. They will see what our colleagues have done and they will remember it, and we Democrats will make sure they remember it.”
What Happens Next
The bill will now return to the House of Representatives to approve changes made by the Senate.
However, its passing is by no means certain given there is opposition in the House from both Republicans and Democrats.
