Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee also rejects the GOP tax bill. He was the only Republican to vote against the original Senate version of the legislation. He remained concerned about the deficit.
On Wednesday, Sen. Corker said, “I have all the same concerns that I have had.”
Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain is currently receiving treatment for normal side effects of cancer therapy at Walter Reed Medical Center. McCain is battling an aggressive type of brain cancer called glioblastoma.
According to CNN’s sources in the Senate, the Arizona senator looked increasingly frail. During the recent GOP meetings, McCain did not speak up just the way he used to be. His energy level wasn’t the same. His potential absence in the Senate further complicates the final passage of the GOP tax bill.
The Senate Republicans can only afford to lose two votes because Vice President Mike Pence can break a tie.
