""There are some that say he's a dictator. Well, no, he's not a dictator - we voted him in," she said. "I think it would all be a lot better if we didn't resist the federal government and instead just got together and said, 'Hey, I'm with you ... Let's sit down, work together and clean it up instead of fight it'.""
"On health care, Durham said she's glad to see the administration target Medicaid fraud. In July, Trump signed into law his sweeping policy bill, including an estimated $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. Much of that reduction would come from new work requirements and additional paperwork demands that would shrink enrollment. "I honestly believe if all the fraud could be cut out of Medicaid and Medicare, we would be in a surplus of money," she said."
"Durham also praised Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again initiatives, especially efforts to remove synthetic dyes from the food supply and curb ultra-processed foods, raising concerns about what her grandchild eats. She's also in favor of his updated childhood vaccine schedule, calling the previous standard "ridiculous" and saying families need choices."
Durham supports the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and urges state leaders to cooperate with the federal government rather than resist.

She notes the July policy bill includes roughly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts through work requirements and paperwork that could shrink enrollment. She praises Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s initiatives to remove synthetic dyes and curb ultra-processed foods, expresses concern about her grandchild's diet, and supports a revised childhood vaccine schedule.
