Republicans Just Betrayed Working-Class Voters
Even they themselves know how bad this bill is. That’s why multiple Republican members of Congress were trashing it—before voting for it.
After November’s elections, pundits and beltway insiders couldn’t stop talking about how Republicans were becoming the “party of the working class.”
The GOP just proved to everyone how wrong that hot take was.
Today, Republicans in the House voted on final approval of Trump’s awful budget. It will now head to Trump for his signature, after which it will become law.
Instead of doing anything to lower costs or make the lives of working people easier, this Republican budget is an in-your-face betrayal of the working-class voters who helped send them to Congress in the first place:
It takes away health care from more people than any bill in American history
It ends food assistance for millions, forcing more children and families into hunger than any bill in history
It supercharges Trump’s lawless ICE and will allow them to kidnap and forcibly remove more innocent people and spread more terror in our neighborhoods
All so they can permanently give billionaires and the wealthy more tax cuts, in one of the largest legislative wealth transfers in history.
Even they themselves know how bad this bill is. That’s why multiple Republican members of Congress were trashing it — before voting for it.
And it’s why the final text of this bill intentionally delays some of the worst of the cuts, including cuts to Medicaid, until after the 2026 midterms.
People deserve leaders who will fight for them—not obey the commands of their billionaire backers.
The same Republicans who just voted for this bill are going to spend the next 16 months trying to run as far and as fast away from it as they can. We are not going to let them get away with it.
Republicans just made it clear that they will never be a “party of the working class.”
