RINO Don Bacon (R-NE) has is now threatening to derail Trump’s agenda with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act when the Senate sends it back to the House, where Republicans hold a slim majority.
“I’m not a ‘yes’ necessarily,” he said shortly after announcing plans to retire from the House of Representatives at the end of his term.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bacon announced last week that he will not seek reelection in 2026 for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.
JUST IN: RINO Rep. Don Bacon Won’t Seek Reelection in 2026
Bacon, the same guy who called on President Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and labeled his own voters Nazis, reportedly plans to restore his idea of the Republican party after he leaves Congress.
One of his final parting gifts may be to turn his back on Republican voters once again.
Per the Wall Street Journal:
His announcement that he won’t run for re-election comes as the party has just days to pass the president’s tax and spending bill ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline. Bacon, who is considered a pivotal vote, says he is waiting to see what passes out of the Senate before he decides what to do.“I’m not a ‘yes’ necessarily,” said Bacon in a wide-ranging interview about his decision to leave Congress. He argues that the Senate’s initial text on Republicans’ “one big, beautiful bill” was worse than the version he helped pass out of the House. The Senate released a revised version in recent days and is hoping to quickly approve it and send it back to the House, where the GOP has a thin 220-212 majority and party leaders need every vote they can get.
“It’ll come down to: Does the bad outweigh the good, or the good outweigh the bad by the time it’s done?” He said he had concerns about the Medicaid provisions and the rollback of clean energy tax credits.
After he leaves the Hill, Bacon wants to work to restore more traditional Republican views to the GOP, and is getting more involved with a group called Legacy Republicans, which advocates for candidates who embrace views espoused by former President Ronald Reagan.
The Senate voted to advance the legislation by one vote on Saturday and is now debating the bill and weighing amendments.
The bill will then be sent to the House to approve changes made in the Senate and, if passed, it will be signed into law by President Trump.
