Although Congress took “a huge step forward” in passing the budget reconciliation package this week, Sen. Tommy Tuberville told Newsmax on Friday that “a lot of work” remains to be done.

We cannot continue to spend money like we’ve been spending. President Trump is trying to get manufacturing back to the country. That’ll help, but we also have got to cut the spending to get our debt down. So, we’re glad to see that work.”

He added, “It’s going to be a lot of work left to be done. It’s going to be hard to get it through the Senate. We’ve got a lot of people over there that just love to spend money.
