Some House Republicans ask Johnson not to cut Medicaid and other programs
As the House eyes a floor vote on their budget resolution next week, a group of eight Republican lawmakers who represent districts with large Hispanic populations are calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to not slash Medicaid, SNAP and Pell Grants in the reconciliation process and are raising concerns with the current budget resolution.
“While we fully support efforts to rein in wasteful spending and deliver on President Trump’s agenda, it is imperative that we do not slash programs that support American communities across our nation,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Johnson.

The group of Republicans say they look forward to working with Johnson on where to eliminate government waste while “ensuring we do not undermine programs that support working-class Americans.”
