Marshall says he believes Trump megabill ‘will help shrink the debt'
'I actually think this bill will help shrink the debt. I think it's going to grow the economy so much, just like it did under President Kennedy, President Reagan, President Clinton, and then again, under President Trump, 45. I think it will grow the economy, shrink the debt,' Marshall told NewsNation's Chris Stirewalt on 'The Hill Sunday.'
'This is phase one. It's not the end-all. We have a lot of work to do,' he added.
Senate Republicans narrowly voted Saturday to advance a massive bill to put in place Trump's agenda in spite of opposition from two of their members.
Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted against advancing the package. Paul has opposed a provision to increase the debt limit by $5 trillion, while Tillis has said the bill would cost North Carolina $38.9 billion in federal Medicaid funding.
'I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities,' Tillis said in a previous statement.
Trump slammed Tillis on Saturday night, threatening to support a primary challenger against the North Carolina senator after he came out against Trump's megabill.
'Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against 'Senator Thom' Tillis,' Trump said on his Truth Social platform. 'I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America.'
On Sunday, Tillis announced he will not run for reelection to the Senate next year.

Tensions Are Starting to Brew Over Waterways for US LNG Cargoes
One of the US largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, Venture Global Inc., is raising questions over how to share a common waterway with a planned neighbor — it's a move that underscores a coming bottleneck for shipping space in an energy sector that the Trump administration is supporting for increased exports. The US, already the biggest global exporter of the fuel, is on track to nearly double its current capacity with a massive buildout of six projects under construction in Texas and Louisiana. And even more are in advanced stages of development as President Donald Trump has made moves to increase the flow of cargoes from the US.
