“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
What work does she want?
Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
But what does she want?
I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
