US EditionRussell Vought on Trump’s megabill: ‘There’s like, no downside’
CALIFORNIA'S 22ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, JUL 8 – Valadao voted for the bill despite a 12-point Democratic voter majority and criticism over Medicaid cuts projected to affect 11.8 million people, officials said.
- Last Thursday, the National Republican Campaign Committee praised Rep. David Valadao’s pivotal vote for Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ shortly after the House passed it.
- With a narrow 218-214 House majority, GOP support for Trump’s bill depended heavily on vulnerable incumbents like Valadao, one of only 10 Republicans who previously impeached Trump.
- Analysis by the Congressional Budget Office indicates the bill would cut $1 trillion in Medicaid over a decade, leaving 11.8 million more uninsured in a district where two-thirds rely on Medi-Cal.
- Protect Our Care California plans to air ads targeting Valadao and other vulnerable Republicans, highlighting the bill's 'largest health care cuts in history' to influence next year's elections.
- Democrats plan to exploit Valadao’s vote, undermining his independent image ahead of next year’s efforts to recapture his seat.
