House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) defended the House-passed “big, beautiful bill” that funds President Trump’s agenda during a Sunday appearance on CNN, arguing that it won’t threaten Medicaid coverage for people who need it, despite independent analysis that suggests it will end health insurance for millions.

Trump himself warned Republicans not to “f‑‑‑ with Medicaid” during a trip to the Capitol on Tuesday to press lawmakers on his sweeping agenda measure dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
