Trump on Capitol Hill: Medicaid Cuts and GOP Divisions Hinder "Big, Beautiful Bill"

President Trump's visit to Capitol Hill on May 20, 2025, focused on securing support for his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." A key point of contention is Medicaid, with Trump urging against changes beyond eliminating "waste, fraud, and abuse." However, some Republicans are pushing for more significant cuts and stricter work requirements. Moderate Republicans are also advocating for adjustments to state and local tax deductions. The ongoing negotiations will determine the bill's fate. "He told lawmakers not to touch Medicaid," stated a White House official, highlighting Trump's direct approach. The situation underscores the divisions within the Republican party and the challenges in passing major legislation.
