GOP's Katie Britt blows off polls showing voters hate Trump's budget bill

During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," a smiling Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) blew off polling showing that the Donald Trump megabill is a highly unpopular with voters after host Jake Tapper listed off the numbers.

Appearing as the bill was being read on the Senate floor, Britt gushed about the initiatives contained in the bill and claimed to have read all 900 pages of the document that has been constantly amended.

That was when the CNN host pointed out to her that the public is not on the president's side when it comes to what he has called his "big beautiful bill."

"So there's a slew of polling about this bill, as i'm sure you know," Tapper prompted his guest. "Pew, Kaiser, Quinnipiac, Washington Post, Fox –– all of it suggesting that this legislation right here is not popular with the American people."

"Senator [Thom] Tillis (R-NC) reportedly warned Republicans that you could face major losses in the midterm elections because of what's in this bill. He compared it to the backlash Democrats faced after passing Obamacare, and former first buddy Elon Musk called this bill, quote, 'Political suicide for the Republican party.' If Republicans lose the House or the Senate or both over this legislation, will it be worth it?" he asked.

"Look, the reforms in this bill are necessary, and the delivery. We're going to deliver actual solutions to the American people and I am excited about that," she enthused. "And I think when the American people actually get to see this in fruition, they absolutely are going to be too."

"I mean, you think about the things we're doing, like securing the border, not just now," she stated as she changed the subject. "We won't always have a President Trump who immediately came in and got border crossings down to basically zero. I mean, if you think about where we are there versus the influx under the Biden administration, if you think about where we've been in our national defense, not only has President Trump reinvigorated our armed services, we've seen recruiting rates go through the roof."
