The bill narrowly passed the House May 22 and will soon be voted on in the Senate, where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes.
Others, like Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have also expressed concerns about the bill.
Last weekend, Trump told reporters he was open to changes in the bill.
"I want the Senate and the senators to make the changes they want," he said. "It will go back to the House, and we’ll see if we can get them. In some cases, the changes may be something I’d agree with, to be honest."
Along with tax cuts, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act also includes stricter requirements for accessing Medicaid, changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program and no taxes on overtime or tips.

CBO estimates that 13.7 million Americans will lose coverage by 2034, which also includes the 5 million Americans who were already about to lose coverage. A number of Democrats have already deployed the figure in campaign messages rejecting Trump's bill passing in the House.
"I don't trust the CBO score, nor should the American people, because it's been proven again and again to be wildly off," added Houchin, who served on three major committees leading budget markup, including the House Rules, Budget and Energy and Commerce committees.
