Democrats Lean On Messages About Medicaid Cuts

Democrats Lean On Messages About Medicaid Cuts

Democratic lawmakers have been spending Congress’ August recess talking about the Medicaid cuts in President Trump's newly passed tax and spending bill. We discuss whether their messaging strategy is likely to translate to votes in next year’s midterm elections, and how their tactics compare with those of Republicans.

This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, political correspondent Barbara Sprunt, and national political correspondent Don Gonyea.

This podcast was produced by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye.

Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
