Democrats going after Trump’s megabill tell their own stories of needing Medicaid and other aid programs
UNITED STATES, JUL 5 – House Democrats plan targeted campaigns highlighting the megabill's $1 trillion Medicaid and food assistance cuts to regain control in the 2026 midterms, focusing on working-class voter concerns.
- Following the July 4 holiday, House Democrats mobilize to use President Trump’s megabill as a campaign weapon for the 2026 midterms.

- Health care's role in midterm elections remains uncertain, with only 27% of Americans approving of Democrats' efforts, highlighting ongoing political debate about the megabill's impact.
