Utah Republican Sen. John Curtis raised doubts on Tuesday the GOP could pass its megabill by its self-imposed Independence Day deadline.
Curtis, speaking at the POLITICO Energy Summit in Washington, said, “I think a lot of us would be surprised if it passed by July 4.”
He added: “I think that’s a false deadline. I don’t think that we need to put a specific deadline on it. Let’s get it right.”

Curtis, who has been pushing for specific changes to the House-passed tax cut, energy and security spending budget bill, said the package would unfairly phase out tax credits from the Democrats’ 2022 climate law. He said the rollbacks could harm energy workers and the economy.
