Vance Promotes Trump's Controversial Budget Bill | JQJO

Vice President JD Vance is touring northeastern Pennsylvania to promote President Trump's new budget bill, which includes tax cuts and border security enhancements but also cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. The bill's passage, secured by Vance's tie-breaking vote, is touted by Republicans as fulfilling campaign promises. Democrats, however, criticize it as harming the poor to benefit the rich and plan to make it a central issue in the 2026 midterms. This trip marks the first major White House effort to promote the legislation, with its effectiveness uncertain given its unpopularity before passage and the timing of its most controversial provisions.
