The president has said his administration “won’t touch” entitlement programs. Past efforts to do so have backfired on Trump and other politicians.

The Senate plan, passed last week, does not include Medicaid cuts. The Senate budget resolution omits tax policy but sets the spending agenda to enact Trump’s border, defense and energy policies, punting negotiations on tax policy to a later date and breaking up the spending plan into two separate measures.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has ruled out some of the deepest cuts to Medicaid as concerns bubble up across the GOP, from the president to state leaders.
