Corker Signals He Could Vote Against Tax Bill

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said that “he could oppose his party’s tax bill over deficit concerns in an expected Senate Budget Committee vote this week, but added that Republicans were working to resolve his concerns,” Reuters reports.

Said Corker: “I’m not threatening anything. I’m just saying it’s very important for me to know that we’ve got this resolved.”

Asked if he could vote “no” on the tax bill at a committee hearing slated for Tuesday, he replied: “Very possible. Yeah. Sure.”
