In response to Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA allies in Congress pushing an extreme budget blueprint based on Trump\u2019s unpopular agenda, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s MAGA minions in the House GOP are following Trump\u2019s lead by proposing seemingly the most extreme and overwhelmingly unpopular proposals they could think of \u2013 even Republican voters think they\u2019ve gone too far. Their blueprint would rip away basic freedoms, threaten Americans\u2019 pocketbooks and health care, and make our country less safe \u2013 and voters across the board want nothing to do with it. Americans continue to make it clear that they want elected officials to protect their hard-earned benefits and safeguard their basic rights, but Trump and MAGA Republicans refuse to listen. Maybe Trump and the GOP will finally get the message this November when voters once again reject their extreme and out-of-touch MAGA agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican Study Committee\u2019s budget mirrors Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to cut Social Security and Medicare and make Trump\u2019s tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy and big corporations permanent \u2013 all of which is overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans Call for Retirement Age Hike in Clash With Biden\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cThe conservative Republican Study Committee is out with a 2025 budget proposal to extend individual and corporate breaks from the 2017 Trump\u2019 tax law.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes<\/a>: \u201cTrump Floats \u2018Cutting\u2019 Spending On Entitlements Like Social Security And Medicare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cEach of [Trump\u2019s] White House budget proposals included cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201cFox News Poll: 71% choose funding Social Security, Medicare over budget cuts\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sahil Kapur, NBC News<\/a>: \u201cDigging deeper into this @FoxNews finding. Support for funding entitlements like Social Security & Medicare over reducing deficits is overwhelming with the GOP base:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans 59-38%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump voters 59-37%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservatives 60-36%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rural voters 70-26%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White non-college voters 73%-24%\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cNearly 67 million Americans have received monthly Social Security benefits this year, and more than 66 million people are enrolled in Medicare. Polling shows little support for major changes to the programs themselves<\/strong> to help shore up their finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA March CNN\/SSRS poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, for instance, found that 59% said it was \u2018essential\u2019 that the GOP nominee for president \u2018pledges to maintain Social Security and Medicare as they are.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cMost oppose Social Security, Medicare cuts: AP-NORC poll\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cNearly 9 in 10 Americans say they oppose reducing spending on Social Security or Medicare,<\/strong> according to new polling from our Axios-Ipsos Two Americas Index.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cOn Tax Day, Trump tax cuts remain deeply unpopular\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSC\u2019s budget endorses a near-total nationwide abortion ban that would threaten access to IVF across the country, as well as a bill that would ban medication abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cHouse Republicans Endorse National Abortion Ban\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cThe budget also backs legislation that would put restrictions on abortion, which could threaten in vitro fertilization (IVF).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Zeballos-Roig, Semafor<\/a>: \u201cThe House GOP Study Committee (largest House GOP bloc) released a budget endorsing the Life at Conception Act, which would provide 14th amendment legal protections at every stage of life. Amounts to near-total ban on abortions with no IVF exceptions\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Yglesias, Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cIn case anyone is still covering the IVF question, today’s new Republican Study Committee budget specifically endorses the idea that embryos have the full legal rights of persons under the 14th Amendment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yglesias<\/a>: \u201cThey’re also backing a bill to ban mifepristone<\/strong> (again, something you could achieve through judicial or executive branch action as well)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cDonald Trump Has Deep Ties To Anti-IVF Movement\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News<\/a>: \u201cAmericans continue to support IVF and abortion access\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vast majority of registered voters, 80 percent, think IVF should be legal.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cLarge majorities say reproductive care like birth control pills and IVF should be made easier to access, including majorities of Republicans.<\/strong> \u2026 Americans across party lines also say access to fertility planning like IVF should be easier to access, including 72 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of independents, and 53 percent of Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cAmericans overwhelmingly oppose the next goal of many anti-abortion activists, to enact a federal law banning abortion nationwide. By 80%-14%, those surveyed opposed that idea, including 65% of Republicans and 83% of independents.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans support abortion access one year after Roe v. Wade: poll\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cA 64% majority of US adults say they disapprove of last year\u2019s Supreme Court ruling that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion, with half strongly disapproving \u2013 an assessment that\u2019s almost entirely unchanged from CNN\u2019s poll last July in the immediate wake of the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Trump is threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the RSC\u2019s proposed budget would gut the ACA and its protections for over 100 million Americans with preexisting conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cRSC budget revives conservative health priorities\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe health care section \u2026 calls for killing the Inflation Reduction Act and its drug price provisions. \u2026 It would remove many of the Affordable Care Act’s protections for pre-existing conditions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Axios<\/a>: \u201cThe ACA’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions have proved especially popular, with 79% of Americans \u2014 including 66% of Republicans \u2014 saying in 2020 that they did not want the Supreme Court to overturn those protections.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR\/PBS NewsHour\/Marist Poll<\/a>: \u201cThirteen years after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, more than eight in ten Americans (83%) either agree or strongly agree that all Americans have a basic right to healthcare coverage.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Bennett, Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cPer our October @NavigatorSurvey research, repealing the ACA (and January 6) remain the top concerns about Trump\u2019s first term as president\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cWhat\u2019s clear is that an effort to \u2018terminate\u2019 Obamacare is not something Americans are pining for. Not only were the GOP\u2019s efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare during Trump\u2019s term historically unpopular, but the law also appears to have gotten more popular since then.<\/strong> \u2026 And when politicians talk of ending health insurance for tens of millions of Americans, dropping coverage of preexisting conditions and cutting Obamacare\u2019s Medicaid funding, things get even dicier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cMajority of Americans don\u2019t want preexisting condition protections eliminated: poll\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven among Republicans, 66 percent of respondents said they did not want to see the preexisting condition protections overturned. Overall, the poll showed 79 percent of respondents do not want the court to cancel coverage protections for Americans with preexisting conditions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KFF Poll<\/a>: \u201cMajorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents say it is ‘very important’ to continue each of [the Affordable Care Act\u2019s] protections for people with pre-existing conditions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSC budget would make it easier for dangerous people to get their hands on guns by gutting the \u201cred flag\u201d provisions of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, even though voters overwhelmingly support commonsense gun safety reform.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Caller<\/a>: \u201cThe RSC supports defunding the \u2018red flag\u2019 provisions from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, according to the budget proposal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201cFox News Poll: Voters favor gun limits over arming citizens to reduce gun violence\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pew Research<\/a>: \u201cOther gun policy proposals, including banning high-capacity magazines (66%) and banning assault-style weapons (64%), continue to draw majority support.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning Consult<\/a>: \u201cVoters Maintain Strong, Bipartisan Support for Banning Assault Weapons After Lewiston\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
