Some in this camp have cast Trump’s bill as vindication of their analysis. After all, the president’s legislation cuts means-tested programs like Medicaid and food stamps, yet spared Medicare and Social Security.

The new law extends tax breaks for the wealthy, slashes Medicaid and food aid and expands immigration enforcement — threatening health care, nutrition and safety nets for millions.

When reached by Newsweek, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "President Trump made a clear pledge: no cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security. The One, Big, Beautiful only addresses waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid with commonsense reforms like popular work requirements and eligibility verification."

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) insists he helped get $1 billion for hospitals in his state hit by Trump’s tax bill. Except his governor and state legislature did that.

The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is rolling out a new digital ad campaign attacking Republicans over Medicaid cuts included in President Trump’s sweeping policy legislation that he signed into law last week.
