Nick Begich Surrenders To D.C. Party Bosses, Votes To Decimate Medicaid And Increase Taxes

Nick Begich just voted AGAIN to enact the largest cut to Medicaid in history to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations. Additionally, Begich decided to add a provision clearing the path for Trump’s sweeping tariffs that is wrecking the economy and will jack up costs by thousands of dollars per year for working families.

By bending the knee to his D.C. bosses, Begich is walking the plank to give his party full power over the pocketbooks of middle-class families.

The DCCC will hold Begich accountable for his support of this disastrous budget to rip away health care and food from American families. 

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Taking away health care, cutting off food assistance, raising costs on everything, all to pay for massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers – Nick Begich has failed to do a single thing to make life more affordable for Alaskans. This dangerous agenda and disregard for everyday people will cost Republicans the majority.”
