Jim McLaughlin, one of President Donald Trump’s top pollsters, said Hill Republicans should nix Senate Republicans’ deeper Medicaid cuts in the megabill or risk deep backlash from voters.
“The Senate needs to go back to the House version on Medicaid in the [One Big Beautiful Bill Act], just like the president wants,” Jim McLaughlin, who runs McLaughlin & Associates, told POLITICO Saturday.
He continued: “The working class Americans who gave President Trump his overwhelming victory as well as majorities in the House and Senate deserve nothing less.”
More than a dozen at-risk House Republicans are deeply alarmed at the Senate’s decisions to keep its deeper Medicaid cuts in newly unveiled text, including the politically explosive provider tax.
They’re warning they won’t support the bill unless the Medicaid language moves closer to the House text.
