Megan Hayes: 作为前白宫信息规划主管,我认为特朗普试图促成众议院的交易,但关键在于那些面临连任风险的摇摆选区议员。民主党希望那些温和派和前线选区的人投下这一票,以便在2026年进行竞选反击。特朗普总统的出现是为了施加同侪压力,羞辱一些议员,或告诉他们要为党团的利益着想,否则会失去多数席位。基层议员很少有机会见到总统,所以总统的出现可能会促使他们投票支持某些议案。 Charlie Dent: 作为前共和党国会议员,我曾被召集到白宫,但与总统谈论实质内容是徒劳的,因为他不了解医疗补助政策或SNAP福利的细微差别。许多共和党人担心,他们会像90年代投票支持BTU税的民主党人一样,因为参议院会维持现状,而失去选举。与特朗普作对,面临被初选挑战和失去席位的威胁是非常真实的。前线议员更大的问题是普选,而不是初选。特朗普对前线议员的筹码有限,参议院才是关键。 Donald Trump: 我希望在医疗补助方面做到的是,不要触及任何东西,只要杜绝浪费、欺诈或滥用。我认为Thomas Massey不了解政府,他只是个爱出风头的人,应该被投票罢免。
