White House says Trump wants to primary Republicans who voted against the 'Big Beautiful Bill'

White House says Trump wants to primary Republicans who voted against the 'Big Beautiful Bill' (Insider)

• Two House Republicans voted against the "Big Beautiful Bill" on Thursday.
• Now, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says Trump wants them to face primary challenges.
• "I don't think he likes to see grandstanders in Congress," she said.

Four months into his second term, President Donald Trump wants members of his own party thrown out of office over their perceived lack of loyalty to his "Big Beautiful Bill"

That was the message delivered by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after two Republicans — Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — voted against Trump's bill as it passed the House on Thursday.

So they might get to keep their House seats.

Repubs who wrote the bill may be evil, but they're not dumb.
