Doubts of the Republicans for Trump’s “chainsaw”
The moderate wing fears that significant cuts to Medicaid They represent a risk that is too high before the intermediate elections of November 2026. Instead, for the ultraconservative wing the cuts are insufficient.
Several conservative legislators managed to temporarily derail the process on Friday by voting against the bill in the Budget Committee. But on Sunday night they changed position and although they did not vote in favor, they abstained and allowed the text to continue their way. However, the battle is far from finishing.
Republican senators have already expressed their willingness to make changes when they must examine itto Trump’s disgust, which would see the perspective of a prestigious short -term legislative victory fading.
