House Republican suffers fresh voter rage over Trump's tax bill
After facing angry constituents at town halls over the Trump administration’s destructive cuts to the federal government, House Republicans are contending with fresh rage from voters over their vote to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."
Rep. Mike Flood, a Nebraska Republican whose district backed Donald Trump by a 13-percentage-point margin in 2024, faced constituents at a town hall on Tuesday who booed him for voting for the budget bill that slashes the social safety net in order to only partly pay for tax cuts that benefit the richest Americans.
Flood's constituents were irate that he voted for the bill that will rip Medicaid and food stamps away from millions of low-income Americans, and ultimately lead people in the lowest income brackets to see their take-home pay reduced in order to fund hundreds of thousands in tax cuts for the wealthiest few.
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office:
CBO estimates that household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and [the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] (see the figure). By contrast, resources would increase by an amount equal to 4 percent for households in the highest decile in 2027 and 2 percent in 2033, mainly because of reductions in [the] taxes they owe.
