US EditionGOP centrists revolt against steep cuts to Medicaid and other programs in Trump’s tax breaks bill
- Republican centrists led by Reps. Juan Ciscomani and Don Bacon oppose steep Medicaid cuts in President Trump's tax breaks bill planned by Memorial Day.
- The bill proposes $4.5 trillion in tax incentives alongside $1.5 trillion in reductions to government spending, largely influenced by the House Freedom Caucus’s push for cuts totaling up to $2 trillion.
- Ciscomani and Bacon signed letters warning Republican leadership that cuts to Medicaid and clean energy tax credits will harm constituents and local investments.

- The opposition from key centrists could jeopardize the bill’s passage since only three House Republicans must flip and the GOP holds a narrow House majority.
