David Valadao, representing a district with the highest Medicaid enrollment among Republican-held seats, voted for a 2025 Trump administration bill cutting over $1 trillion from Medicaid, including stricter rules that could remove two million Californians from coverage. 尽管此前曾承诺不支持这种削减,但瓦拉达奥支持立法,保留2017年期满的减税,受到民主挑战者和健康倡导者的尖锐批评。 Despite earlier pledges not to support such cuts, Valadao backed the legislation to preserve expiring 2017 tax cuts, drawing sharp criticism from Democratic challengers and health advocates. 他的决定被视为2026年竞争竞赛中的关键,损害了他作为温和人士的声誉,尽管他声称通过修正和支持农村保健倡议减轻了伤害。 His decision, seen as pivotal in a competitive 2026 race, has damaged his reputation as a moderate, though he claims to have mitigated harm through amendments and supported rural health initiatives. 预计全国民主党将强调投票,作为推翻众议院的更广泛战略的一部分,但经济关切仍然是选民的最优先事项。 National Democrats are expected to highlight the vote as part of a broader strategy to flip the House, but economic concerns remain a top voter priority.
