House Republican leaders on Tuesday downplayed the possibility of cuts to Medicaid benefits as they seek a reconciliation bill with up to $2 trillion in savings. Speaker Mike Johnson

The House GOP Leadership is readiyng a budget resolution including spending cuts. A likely candidate is Medicaid work requirements.

As GOP hardliners spent the weekend pushing party leaders to cut deeper into Medicaid in an effort to advance Donald Trump’s tax and border agenda, swing-district Republicans have been warning the president directly that it would cost him control of the House.

House Republicans have missed another deadline to produce a massive budget package of tax cuts and slashed spending.
