‘Won’t have anywhere to hide’: Democrats are eager to pick apart the GOP megabill

Republicans are gearing up to put pen to paper on President Donald Trump’s big domestic policy bill. It could give Democrats a big, beautiful target for their midterm messaging.

Next week, GOP lawmakers will start rolling out portions of the planned megabill, with House committees slated to hold a series of meetings advancing individual portions. Speaker Mike Johnson has set an aggressive Memorial Day deadline to get a final product through the chamber.

Democrats, meanwhile, are mapping out a committee-by-committee fight over the drafting of the megabill. They’re planning to force a plethora of votes, aiming to put vulnerable House Republicans on the record regarding some of the most controversial pieces of the GOP agenda. They’re eyeing likely changes to Medicaid in the Energy and Commerce Committee and food assistance in the Agriculture Committee as particularly ripe avenues for attack, not to mention tax provisions in Ways and Means.
