Senator Thom Tillis announced he would not seek reelection after criticizing President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill for breaking promises related to Medicaid cuts. Tillis warned that the current bill would betray Trump’s commitment to protect those relying on Medicaid, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. In response, White House officials claimed the President was working closely with GOP leaders, though contradictions arose regarding the nature and scheduling of their interactions. Kaitlan Collins showcased this conflict, highlighting the disconnect between Trump's pledges and legislative reality.
Senator Thom Tillis stated, 'It is inescapable that this bill, in its current form, will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office.' He emphasized that 'the effect of this bill is to break a promise,' raising concerns over Medicaid cuts affecting 663,000 people. Collin's supercut highlighted Trump's previous commitments to preserve Medicaid.
Kaitlan Collins featured a recap of the conflict between Tillis and the White House regarding Trump's promises on Medicaid, showcasing remarks that illustrate the discrepancies between promises and current legislative actions.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt defended Trump, stating, 'The President has been working hand-in-hand with Senate Majority Leader Thune and also the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,' but later clarifications revealed no in-person meetings were scheduled. This raised further questions about Trump's engagements with Republican leaders.
