Rand Paul — I will vote No on Trump’s budget unless there are huge spending cuts.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he “won’t vote for” a reconciliation package that is not fully paid for with real spending cuts, he told Axios.

Why it matters: A “no” from Paul would be an early reminder that even the Senate’s safer bet for a quick win isn’t a sure thing.

The House is mired in debate over how deep they should cut spending as part of a budget reconciliation package touching on border, defense and taxes.
The Senate is moving on its taxes-free plan this week.

Zoom in: Paul said the Senate package is expected to include $150 billion in new spending on the military and $175 billion for border security.
