In response to Donald Trump backing out of a campaign event in Arizona, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump doesn\u2019t want to talk to voters in Arizona, and it\u2019s no wonder why: He failed them time and again throughout his four years in office, including opening the door to a cruel near-total abortion ban and trying to rip away health care, Social Security, and Medicaid from hardworking families.  Trump can try to hide from Arizonans, but there\u2019s no hiding from his extreme and unpopular agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Trump\u2019s hand-picked Supreme Court justices overturned <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, Arizona Republicans\u2019 abortion ban immediately went into effect \u2013 and now they are attempting to reinstate a near-total abortion ban from the 1860s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cThe state Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Tuesday about whether to allow a near-total abortion ban dating back to 1864 to take effect.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian<\/a>: \u201cArizona court weighs 1864 abortion ban that risks \u2018conditions of misery\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the months after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, abortion flickered in and out of legality in Arizona as state courts attempted to interpret a long-dormant 19th-century abortion ban that was suddenly relevant again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona Mirror<\/a>: \u201cIn June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion and giving the ability to restrict or outright ban the procedure back to the states. Just two months before that landmark decision, Arizona Republicans, who hold a majority in the state legislature, had approved a 15-week ban in anticipation of the federal court\u2019s ruling. Without the protection of Roe, the ban was upheld as lawful where before it might have been struck down via a constitutional challenge.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong><\/a> terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAfter 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, much to the \u2018shock\u2019 of everyone \u2026 Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to.<\/strong> Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Claims Credit for All Abortion Bans\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump is hellbent on getting rid of the Affordable Care Act \u2013 which could result in hundreds of thousands of Arizonans losing their health care coverage. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban Institute<\/a>: The number of people uninsured in Arizona would increase by 297,000 if the ACA ceased to exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KFF<\/a>: Nearly 2.4 million people in Arizona enrolled in Medicaid under the ACA Expansion Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cTrump Revives Plan to Dismantle Obamacare if Elected in 2024\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cTrump doubles down, saying \u2018Obamacare Sucks\u2019 and must be replaced\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Messenger<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Donald Trump said he is \u2018seriously looking at alternatives\u2019 to Obamacare in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social. He also called it a \u2018low point for the Republican Party\u2019 that lawmakers failed to \u2018terminate\u2019 the health insurance program established by the Affordable Care Act. According to the latest figures this year, more than 40 million Americans rely on the program for those who can’t afford private plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThe cost of Obamacare is out of control, plus, it\u2019s not good Healthcare. I\u2019m seriously looking at alternatives. We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for 6 years against it, and then raised their hands not to terminate it. It was a low point for the Republican Party, but we should never give up!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump owns his extreme record of proposing cuts in every single one of his budgets to Social Security programs that Arizonans rely on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AARP<\/a>: \u201cNearly one in five Arizona residents \u2013 1,468,715 million people \u2013 receive Social Security benefits, and 45 percent of residents 65 and older rely on the program for at least half of their income.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KFF<\/a>: 140,421 people in Arizona are SSDI beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cHis avowed stance, however, is at odds with Trump\u2019s own record as president: Each of his White House budget proposals included cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cTrump said he wouldn\u2019t cut Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare. His 2020 budget cuts all 3.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s FY18<\/a>, FY19<\/a>, FY20<\/a>, and FY21<\/a> budgets each proposed billions of dollars in cuts to Social Security programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump repeatedly proposed billions in cuts to Medicaid \u2013 even though it provides health coverage for one in five Arizonans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his FY18<\/a>, FY19<\/a>, FY20<\/a>, and FY21<\/a> budgets, Trump repeatedly proposed hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KFF<\/strong><\/a>: 21% of Arizona\u2019s population is covered by Medicaid\/CHIP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KFF<\/a>: Five of every nine nursing home residents in Arizona are covered by Medicaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s MAGAnomics tax scam \u2013 which he wants to double down on \u2013 rigged the economy for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations at the expense of Arizona\u2019s middle class.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cBehind closed doors, Trump eyes second round of corporate tax cuts\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNonpartisan estimates have found that Trump\u2019s tax cut added more than $2 trillion to the federal debt. In 2018, the richest 20 percent of taxpayers saw an average of $7,600 in savings from the 2017 tax law, compared with just $930 in savings for middle-income households, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank. Making the tax cuts permanent would cost $3 trillion, the center said in 2022. More than 60 percent of the benefits would go to the richest 20 percent of Americans, and more than 40 percent of the benefits to those earning above $400,000 annually.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump and his advisers have discussed deeper cuts to both individual and corporate tax rates that would build on his controversial 2017 tax law \u2026 Further cutting corporate taxes, which would primarily benefit large firms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201c[Trump] intends to center his economic plans on extending and deepening the Republican tax cuts from 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
