Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst faced backlash at a town hall for supporting Medicaid cuts in the House’s budget bill, which critics say will harm vulnerable Americans and lead to fatalities. Attendees shouted concerns about potential deaths due to Medicaid cuts, prompting Ernst’s controversial remark, “Well, we all are going to die.”

Ernst defended the cuts as corrections removing ineligible recipients and defended her support of President Donald Trump’s actions, contrasting them with former President Joe Bidenโ€™s lack of communication.

Polling indicates that voters oppose cutting Medicaid and food assistance for tax cuts, suggesting possible political consequences for Republican lawmakers.
