‘It could be his Obamacare’: GOP senator reveals his warnings to Trump before voting against his agenda
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Senator Tillis warned Trump the healthcare bill could cause major GOP losses in 2026, citing Medicaid cuts and comparisons to the Affordable Care Act's 2010 impact.
- During a CNN interview last Wednesday, GOP Senator Thom Tillis warned President Trump that his healthcare bill could become his 'Obamacare' and harm Republicans in 2026.
- Tillis warned Trump that deep Medicaid spending cuts risked repeating the 2010 Obamacare backlash, fearing they would harm low-income Americans and trigger voter revolt.
- Polls indicate only 35% support for Trump’s bill, with Tillis citing Medicaid cuts as a key flaw.
- GOP leaders passed the bill without Tillis, prompting Trump to threaten a primary, after which Tillis sent a private text to the president.
- Looking ahead to 2026, Tillis warned the bill could harm Republicans' prospects, citing the 2010 midterms' backlash after the ACA's passage.
