Summary
A growing Republican backlash, including hospitals and Steve Bannon, is challenging Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts.
The GOP budget seeks at least $880 billion in reductions, risking healthcare access for millions. Bannon warned that many MAGA voters rely on Medicaid, while hospitals and moderate Republicans urged caution, fearing economic harm.
Speaker Mike Johnson supports work requirements but lacks enough fraud-related savings to meet budget goals.
Critics argue the cuts could gut essential services, contradicting Trump’s promise not to harm Medicaid recipients.
That’s what Biden was planning to do and the media started crusade that he shouldn’t run.
Harris no longer had this promise, but they killed her off anyway.
Doesnt seem like it would have mattered by the way voting went. Even if Biden had beat Trump, the Senate and Congress would have been Republican still. So while our Republic would have stayed standing, no real changes Biden would have tried for would have ever happened.
I disagree, the results in Congress very much are about which votes show up.
Also Biden was much more appealing to swing states than Harris was.
