Minnesota Governor Tim Walz criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for his stance on potential reforms to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if former President Donald Trump is reelected. Walz seized upon Johnson's recent comments to bolster his argument that a Trump administration would likely cut social programs broadly.
Speaking at a rally in Asheville, North Carolina, Walz pointed to Johnson's statement made on Monday, where Johnson vowed to pursue significant changes to the ACA if Trump wins a second term. Walz also highlighted Ohio Senator JD Vance's assertion during a recent vice-presidential debate that Trump had 'saved' the ACA, a claim that Walz labeled as false.
