GOP Medicaid Plans and Their Impact on 2026 Midterms

A top Trump pollster warns Senate Republicans to revert Medicaid cuts to avoid voter backlash, as House Republicans oppose the Senate's version of the megabill with deeper Medicaid reductions. The bill faces internal GOP disagreements over Medicaid, tax cuts, and healthcare provisions, with some senators supporting recent changes, while hospital lobbies and the White House express concern or approval. The legislation also includes unusual provisions like increased whale-hunting deductions and adjustments to energy and tax credits, amid ongoing negotiations to pass the bill before the July 4 recess.
