Summary
A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.
Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.
Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.
This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.
The people who paint all Liberals as radical communists aren’t the people you’re trying to reach. Don’t make the mistake of assuming all Trump voters are a monolith, they’re not. Remember, there was a sizeable crossover in people who voted for Trump and voted for AOC.
