Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) released the following statement after House passage of the Republican reconciliation bill:
“House Republicans just sold out their constituents to the highest bidders: Donald Trump and his billionaire boys club. Debated and brought to the House Floor in the dead of night, they passed a monstrosity of a bill that strips millions of Americans of their healthcare, food assistance, housing, and more.
“Never before has it been clearer that Donald Trump and the Republican Party have completely abandoned seniors and working families. Trump’s reckless tariffs have already inflated the prices of everyday essentials like groceries and clothing. Now, they are gutting the very safety net programs that keep Americans alive-all to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. Meanwhile, Moody’s just downgraded the U.S. credit outlook, which will drive up interest rates, loans, and household debt.
“The American people are suffering, and Donald Trump is to blame–along with every spineless Republican who refuses to stand up for their constituents. I am urging my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put the needs of their constituents first and vote against this Big Backstabbing Bill. Millions of lives are at stake.”
The bill passed with 215 votes in favor, and214 votes against. Culver City‘s Representative Kamlager-Dove along with 212 Democrats voting against the motion .
