GOP state senators in WA go to bat for Trump's megabill

President Donald Trump is receiving unusually boisterous support for his “big, beautiful bill” from an unexpected source: Republican state senators in Washington.

The Senate Republican Caucus launched a web page rebuking Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson and Democratic lawmakers for “stoking fear” with “false or misleading accusations” about the new law’s overhaul of Medicaid, food assistance, hospital funding, and energy policy.

It marks a change for Senate Republicans, and their leadership, who’ve sought to distance themselves from their party’s actions in “the other Washington.”

Since Trump signed the law on July 4, Democrats in Washington have dominated the narrative about it. Ferguson has warned that it’s “difficult to overstate how devastating” the law’s cuts will be for Washingtonians, and that the reductions will “bring our health care system to the brink and harm people in every corner of our state.”
