GOP Breaks Rank, Tanks Trump’s Budget Bill Over Medicaid Beef

Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful” budget bill took a major hit on Friday—and not from Democrats this time. In a surprising twist, five Republicans crossed the aisle and joined Democrats to block the legislation, throwing a wrench into one of Trump’s key domestic priorities.

The bill, which was meant to extend Trump-era tax cuts and introduce a new no-tax-on-tips policy, ran into serious trouble when conservative Republicans demanded even more spending cuts. Specifically, they want deeper slashes to Medicaid, the health program for low-income Americans, and a full repeal of green energy tax breaks championed by Democrats.

While Trump took to Truth Social to urge unity, blasting so-called “grandstanders” in his party, the GOP pushback was too strong this time. The procedural vote loss marks the first major legislative setback for the Trump administration this year.

At the heart of the opposition: concern from hardline Republicans that the bill doesn’t cut enough from the budget. On the flip side, moderate Republicans are worried that gutting Medicaid would hurt their constituents, especially in communities that heavily rely on the program.

Adding to the tension, Democrats have slammed the bill for prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy while threatening healthcare coverage for millions. They’ve warned that proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act could result in historic losses in health insurance coverage—potentially more damaging than the Great Depression.

The bill isn’t completely dead, but Friday’s vote means the Trump administration has serious work to do to get it back on track. With the Joint Tax Committee estimating the plan would cost over $3.7 trillion over the next decade, expect more heated debates in the days to come.
