Walz Condemns Trump Budget: Millions Face Healthcare Loss, Job Cuts Imminent

Governor Walz Sounds Alarm on Trump Budget, Warning of Healthcare Cuts and Job Losses Columbia, SC – In a strongly worded speech delivered on June 3rd, 2025, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz launched a scathing attack on President Trump's proposed budget. Walz highlighted the budget's potential to drastically reduce healthcare coverage for millions of Americans, particularly those reliant on Medicaid. "If you're a young couple raising a child with a disability, getting your healthcare through Medicaid, you could be one of 15 million that are going to lose your healthcare," Walz stated, emphasizing the budget's devastating implications for vulnerable families. Beyond healthcare, Walz also underscored the budget's projected elimination of hundreds of thousands of jobs, particularly impacting the burgeoning solar energy sector in states like Minnesota. He painted a stark picture of the economic hardship facing working families due to these potential job losses. "Your gig could be one of the 700,000 jobs that this bill will kill alone," he warned. Walz's speech serves as a powerful call to action, urging lawmakers to reconsider the budget's far-reaching consequences. His direct and emotive language underscores the urgency of addressing these concerns before the budget is finalized.
