Does the public support the MAGA-Trump GOP Budget bill? NO
"Budget Betrayal Bill to make Billionaire bailed out again"
AI reports: Recent information indicates that the GOP budget bill, which is also referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (BBB), is not popular. A May 2025 poll found that only 14% of Americans approve of cutting Medicaid to fund tax cuts, a key component of the bill. A model also suggests that less than 15% of voters in any congressional district support cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is also part of the bill's proposed cuts. The bill faces strong opposition from Congressional Democrats, who argue that it primarily benefits wealthy corporations and would lead to deep cuts in essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Senator Rand Paul has also stated his opposition to the bill due to its significant cost.

Senate Republicans rushed to overcome their own differences and challenges from the parliamentarian to pass their version of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The budget bill represents one of the most extreme upward transfers of wealth in modern U.S. history.
The GOP plan slashes Medicaid, SNAP, and other core safety net programs to fund tax cuts for billionaires, mass deportation efforts, and bloated military spending. These cuts would drive widespread economic insecurity and lead to tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year — all to underwrite enormous tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.
These charts highlight just four of the most dangerous potential impacts of the House-approved bill.
The budget Betrayal bill includes drastic cuts to health care for the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich. According to a study by the University of Pennsylvania and the Yale School of Public Health, the bill would result in an estimated 51,311 preventable deaths per year.The Republican Budget Billionaire gifting plan would cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation’s most important and effective anti-hunger program, by roughly 30 percent — by far the largest cut to SNAP in history. One of the main ways the House bill cuts SNAP is by expanding harsh and ineffective work requirements. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these requirements would lead to 3.2 million people losing SNAP benefits in an average month. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has calculated state-based estimates of the number of people who would be at risk of losing some or all their benefits, with California having the largest at-risk population, at 888,000.
Alongside the largest cuts in history to Medicaid and SNAP food assistance, the House budget includes massive tax breaks for the rich. If this bill becomes law, it would lower average household resources for the poorest 10 percent by 3.9 percent per year, or $1,600, during the period 2026-2034. Resources for the richest 10 percent, by contrast, would increase by 2.3 percent, or $12,000, according to CBO.
