Marco Rubio threatens to vote against the GOP tax bill unless leaders meet demands

• Sen. Marco Rubio told GOP leaders he will not vote for their tax bill unless changes are made to the child tax credit.
• Rubio wants the credit to be more generous and decried the drop in the top individual tax rate in the compromise bill.
• Republicans can only lose two votes in the Senate, and with Bob Corker likely against the bill, Rubio's defection would leave them with no margin for error.

Sen. Marco Rubio on Thursday said he will vote against the final GOP tax bill unless leaders meet his demands on the child tax credit.
Rubio told Republican leadership that he will not vote for the bill — the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) — unless the child tax credit is more generous.
"Senator Rubio has consistently communicated to the Senate tax negotiators that his vote on final passage would depend on whether the refundability of the Child Tax Credit was increased in a meaningful way," a Rubio spokesperson told Business Insider.
