In the minority in both chambers, Jeffries’ party has struggled to find its voice in the first half of 2025. But with their counterparts now split between deficit hawks worried about the ever-growing national debt and another GOP faction fearful of eroding America’s safety net as President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is taken up by the Senate, some are seeing an opening for the left to score a real victory. And the battle over Medicaid funding is that target of opportunity. Democrats hope to halt, or at a minimum, change, the Trump budget bill, which currently aims to change the Medicaid system by adding work requirements and other restrictions to the program’s eligibility process. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the so-called BBB will throw millions of people off of the program, mostly through difficulties navigating government red tape.
