The Senate Republicans will try to draw a way forward for the “law of a Big Big Beautiful Bill” during a series of meetings on Wednesday, including one in which President Donald Trump will work to underpin the support of the Megabill who advances his legislative agenda.

The Republican members of the powerful Finance Committee of the Senate will go to the White House to meet with Trump at 4 pm on Wednesday, they confirm multiple sources of the White House and Hill.

The Finance Committee is responsible for writing the components of the fiscal policy of the bill, including the extension of Trump 2017 tax cuts, a key priority for the package.

The legislation approved by the house also increases spending for military and border security, while some cuts to Medicaid, Snap and other assistance programs. You could also add $ 2.4 billion to the deficit during the next decade, according to a new analysis on Wednesday of the Budget Office of the Non -Party Congress.

Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee are expected to attend the meeting, including majority leader John Thune and Republican whip John Barraso, both in the panel.

ABC News Live appearing on Wednesday, Johnson attacked the bill, saying that “he does not meet the moment.”

The Senate Republicans are expected to meet behind closed doors as a conference on Wednesday to discuss the parameters of the bill as a group.

Until now, Thune has not made clear what his strategy will be to move the package through the upper chamber. As things are today, Thune can only afford to lose three of its members of the Republican party to pass the package, and at this time, it has more members than that express serious doubts about the bill.

Trump’s meeting with the Committee is an opportunity for the president to try to influence those senators who have concerns about the bill. Earlier this week, Trump worked on the phones and met with many of those senators, including the republican sensations Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Rick Scott and Johnson.

Trump also met with Thune to talk when transferred the bill supported by the Chamber through the Senate in the most expeditious way possible. Legislators aim to send a bill to Trump before July 4.

“We are going to do everything we can here in the Senate and the Chamber to obtain that agenda in the finish line and yes, there will be people out there who are going to be detractors and different points of opinions and opinions and that is all fine and good. But in the Senate, there are 51 votes. In the Chamber, it is 218 218 to obtain a bill that we can present in the desk of the president that will transform this country, according to the Senate, are vote in the senate.

Thune has carefully maneuvered in recent days, closely coordinating with Trump while the Senate navigates this bill.

“The president is closer and, ultimately, he will depend on him to help take some of these votes home,” said Thune.

Trump works to calm the concerns of the senators at the same time that Elon Musk attacks the bill online, qualifying it as “unpleasant abomination” in a position on Tuesday X. Musk even punished those who supported the bill.

“Shame for those who voted for him: you know you did wrong. You know it,” Musk wrote.

Elon Musk’s criticisms of the president’s expenses bill have provided political coverage for the Republicans of the Senate who have concerns. But for others, it also caused frustration.

Republican senator Thom Tillis had a blunt message for Musk: “Give us some productive comments in which we can operate.”

“I mean, is this someone who has a lot of information about the United States government in the last six months. Give us some productive comments in which we can operate. I cannot operate with topics or I cannot answer,” said Tillis, who will attend the meeting in the White House.

Republican senator Tommy Tuberville suggested that “does not believe” Musk’s position would have a great impact on senators trying to approve the bill, but he agreed with the billionaire in his criticisms of federal expenditure.

“You know, he looks at him in a different way from what we have to look, because again we are the ones who have to vote for it and we are the ones who also have to look at the good along with the bad. Nothing is perfect,” Tuberbille said about Musk.

Republican senator John Kennedy supported Musk says he is “frustrated” that “we are quickly becoming debt slaves.”

“I wish I simply say what he, what he thinks. Look, I think Mr. Musk, I am a great Musk fan. I think he is really intelligent. I think he has the right to his opinion,” he said. “He is frustrated. I think he believes, in my opinion, correctly, that we are quickly becoming debt slaves, that Congress needs to put back the magical curative power of ‘no’ and I agree with that, having said that I am not ready to throw in the towel in this bill.”
