Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accused Republicans of structuring President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill to delay Medicaid cuts until after the midterm elections, arguing the timing was designed to limit political backlash.
Warren Warns ‘Worst Is Yet To Come‘
On Sunday, in a post on X, Warren said, "Here’s your periodic reminder: The worst is yet to come from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill."
She said, "And that’s by design. Republicans wanted some of the worst impacts to take effect after the midterms. We won’t be fooled."
In a shared video clip, Warren said, "It’s the one year anniversary of Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ and I hate to say it, but the worst is yet to come."
She alleged the legislation was structured so that "the Medicaid cuts won’t kick in until after the November midterm elections," adding that Republicans were "counting on people to forget" the law’s impact by the time they vote.
Warren also said the bill delivered "massive tax handouts to the ultra-wealthy and to giant corporations" while reducing healthcare access.
She said the changes could ultimately lead to millions losing coverage, framing the legislation as a major redistribution of wealth.
"We should be saying that every single day until the November election," she added.

Bessent Predicts Trump Economic Boom
Earlier this year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump’s one big, beautiful bill was driving a coming multi-year economic expansion.
He predicted a "non-inflationary boom" in 2026, supported by rising business investment and manufacturing growth.
Bessent pointed to tax incentives boosting capital spending and said large-scale manufacturing commitments were beginning to lift output.
He also cited stronger-than-expected GDP projections as evidence of accelerating economic momentum.
