After months of negotiations, House and Senate Republicans have produced separate versions of a sweeping tax package with dozens of provisions that would cut some $1.7 trillion in taxes on businesses and individuals.

With a Senate vote tentatively set for Thursday, a few GOP holdouts are looking to make last-minute deals.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky needs to whittle down the list of roughly a half-dozen members of his caucus to win approval for the measure. So far, he doesn't appear to have the votes nailed down.

As negotiations continued Monday, here are nine senators who have yet to commit publicly to supporting the latest version of the bill.

Ron Johnson

Only one Republican, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, has taken a firm stand against the Senate bill, which has to be merged with the House version before it can be brought to the floor for a vote.

Johnson, a former chief executive of a small manufacturing company, has said the legislation unfairly favors large corporations over small businesses.

"In the current form, I wouldn't vote for it," he told CNBC last week.

But Johnson has also said he would work with GOP leadership and the White House to make changes in the bill that would allow him to support it.

On Monday, President Donald Trump said negotiations over the bill were "coming along very well" and the measure was getting "great support."

"With just a few changes, some mathematical, the middle class and job producers can get even more in actual dollars and savings," he tweeted.

Steve Daines

Sen. Steve Daines, a Montana Republican, has also expressed concerns about the so-called "pass-through" treatment of business income.

On Monday, Daines appeared to be moving toward a "yes" vote.

"It was good to speak with @realDonaldTrump this weekend working through these concerns," he tweeted.

Susan Collins

Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate from Maine, was among three Republicans who blocked her party's effort to repeal Obamacare in July. The Senate tax bill includes a repeal of the mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance, a move which could undercut Obamacare.

Collins is also reportedly looking to preserve a popular deduction for individuals who pay local property taxes. The House version includes a $10,000 limit, the current Senate version abolishes the deduction.

Bob Corker

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, a Trump critic who has decided not to run for re-election, is a longtime deficit hawk who has raised concerns about the tax bill's impact on the national debt. As currently written, the Senate bill would add $1.5 trillion to the national debt, not counting interest.

"We're $20 trillion in debt and its party like there's no tomorrow time in Washington," Corker tweeted when the bill won approval from the Finance Committee earlier this month.

But despite early reservations, Corker seemed to be coming around Monday.

"Senator Corker spent the entire Thanksgiving break on the phone with his Senate colleagues and with the administration working on a responsible path forward," according to a statement from his office.

John McCain

Sen. John McCain of Arizona, whose dramatic "thumbs down" vote helped doom the GOP effort to repeal Obamacare, has said he will wait for the final version of the tax-cut bill before announcing his position.

He is less likely to be swayed by the White House; McCain has been an outspoken critic of Trump.

Lisa Murkowski

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, another GOP opponent of her party's failed Obamacare repeal effort in July, has said she will not oppose the provision in the Senate tax bill repealing the individual mandate.

But she is reportedly working to include a provision that would open up the federal lands in Alaska, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to oil and gas drilling.

Jeff Flake

Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, another vocal GOP critic of Trump who is not seeking re-election in 2018, has also expressed concern about the tax bill's impact on the national debt.

James Lankford

Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma is a conservative Republican who has been critical of the tax bill's impact on the national debt. But his office has also said that Lankford was eager to work with his caucus to improve the bill.

"In its current form, Senator Lankford is opposed, but optimistic that it will improve to address his deficit concerns," a spokesman said.

Jerry Moran

Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas has also expressed concerns about the impact of tax cuts on the national debt.

"We don't want to increase the debt and deficit as a result of tax cuts," he told a town hall meeting in Kansas on Saturday. "My goal is to find out which taxes you cut can actually help create more jobs, better jobs, higher-paying jobs ... and which ones don't do that. Not all of them do that."

Here's where GOP Senate holdouts stand on sweeping tax bill

White House: No 'hard no' votes among Republicans right now on tax reform

CNBC's Eamon Javers reports on Senate Republicans meeting at the White House to talk tax reform.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A group of Republican senators met with President Trump at the White House on Thursday to push him to support a bipartisan ObamaCare fix, according to a Senate GOP aide.

The meeting with the president, which was first reported by Politico, was attended by Sens. (R-S.C.), (R-La.), (R-Tenn.) and (R-Maine).

The importance of the bipartisan bill from Alexander and Sen. (D-Wash.) has increased in recent days given that Senate Republicans are now proposing to repeal ObamaCare's individual mandate in their tax bill.

Collins and another moderate, Sen. (R-Alaska), have indicated that passing Alexander-Murray would help ease their concerns about the spike in premiums from repealing the mandate.

Getting Trump's support for that measure would help ease its passage, especially through the House, where many Republicans are opposed to it as a bailout of insurance companies.

Trump, though, has sent mixed messages.

The Senate GOP aide said the conversation about the Alexander-Murray bill during the meeting on Thursday was "encouraging" but did not say there were any commitments from the president.

Asked about the meeting and the White House's position on Alexander-Murray, a White House spokesman issued a general statement.

"The President and Senators Graham, Cassidy, Collins, and Alexander had a productive meeting yesterday where they discussed the ongoing efforts to pass historic tax reform and other legislative objectives," the spokesman said. "The President is pleased with the momentum that has gathered behind finding solutions to these important issues and looks forward to continued cooperation with Congress in order to enact them as soon as possible."

A major obstacle for the idea of pairing Alexander-Murray with repealing the mandate in tax reform, though, is that Democrats have rejected that trade. Senate Democratic Leader (N.Y.) said this week that Democrats would block the Alexander-Murray bill if the GOP goes forward with repealing the mandate.

Several experts also say that Alexander-Murray, which is aimed at stabilizing markets by continuing key payments for insurers, would not cancel out the destabilizing effects of repealing the mandate, which could lead to a lack of healthy people signing up and a rise in premiums.

The Congressional Budget Office has found that repealing the mandate would increase premiums by 10 percent, but that markets would continue to be stable in almost all areas of the country.

Trump met Senate Republicans on ObamaCare fix

Sen. (R-Tenn.) expressed optimism about a bipartisan effort to stabilize ObamaCare markets, saying his bill could be included in the upcoming funding package if it had President Trump's blessing.

"I think if the president supports it, it'll be a part of the end-of-the-year package," Alexander told CNBC in an interview published .

Alexander has been pushing for his bill with Sen. (D-Wash.), which would fund key ObamaCare payments for two years in exchange for added flexibility for states to change ObamaCare rules.

The end-of-the-year package, with multiple measures likely to be attached to a government funding bill, could provide a vehicle.

Sen. (R-Texas), the Senate's No. 2 Republican, likewise said last week that Alexander-Murray is "likely" to be in the end-of-the-year package.

However, Democrats said last week they would block the Alexander-Murray bill if Republicans continue trying to repeal ObamaCare's individual mandate in tax-reform legislation. Democrats say that is not a trade they will go along with.

Moderate Republicans like Sens. (Maine) and (Alaska) have said passing Alexander-Murray could help ease their concerns about the destabilizing effects of repealing the mandate in tax reform.

However, Collins said she wants Alexander-Murray to pass before the tax bill does, which would likely not be the case if the bill waited until the end-of-the-year package.

Experts say that passing Alexander-Murray would not fully offset the effects of repealing the individual mandate, though, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates would increase premiums by 10 percent.

Trump has given mixed signals on Alexander-Murray. Alexander is trying to win more firm support from him.

"We're going to say, 'Mr. President, you asked us to do this. You don't want chaos, neither do we," Alexander said. "'Sign it, take some credit for it, and give the American people a bipartisan win. I think they'll like it.'"

Sen. John McCain said President Trump and Vice President Pence both leaned on him to support the GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare before he cast his dramatic vote in the Senate quashing the attempt.

The Arizona Republican was in his private office in late July when Trump called to rally him to the cause.

"I said, 'I thank you, Mr. President, for your involvement," McCain told Esquire magazine in an interview published on Sunday.

"But I said, 'I cannot vote for something called skinny repeal. I can't do it. I didn't even see the bill until today. I mean, this is insanity. I appreciate the call and now I have to go vote, and I'm sorry, '" McCain said he told the commander-in-chief during the phone call.

Moments later, McCain, who the week before had been diagnosed with a form of brain cancer, walked to the Senate floor on July 29 and at 1:29 a.m. gave a thumbs down sign that he would not sign the measure to the gasps of Republicans and the cheers of Democrats in the chamber.

With GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska planning to vote no, Senate Republicans - who have a 52-48 majority - could not afford to lose McCain's vote.

The vice president was even standing by to cast the deciding 51st vote to pass the "skinny repeal," which was a watered down version of earlier plans to overhaul former President Obama's 2010 healthcare law.

In a statement explaining his vote at the time, McCain recalled Republicans' criticism that Obama's Affordable Care Act never got a full hearing before being passed by Congress.

"I've stated time and time again that one of the major failures of ObamaCare was that it was rammed through Congress by Democrats on a strict party-line basis without a single Republican vote," the statement said. "We should not make the mistakes of the past."
