Gov. Newsom Slams Rep. Valadao's Potential Vote on 'Big Beautiful Bill' as 'Ultimate Betrayal'

Newsom's Warning to Rep. Valadao

• ⚠️ Governor Newsom issued a stern warning to Congressman David Valadao, stating that a 'yes' vote on the 'Big Beautiful Bill' would be the 'ultimate betrayal' of his constituents.
• 🎯 Newsom emphasized that 62-64% of Valadao's district residents are on Medi-Cal, a program facing potential cuts under the bill.
• 🚨 If Valadao votes for the bill, Newsom declared he 'should be voted out next year' and suggested he might as well resign early.

Devastating Impacts of the Bill

• 🏥 The bill is described as the 'most calamitous and devastating' of our lifetime and the most destructive healthcare bill in U.S. history.
• 📉 Upwards of 17 million people nationwide could lose healthcare coverage, with 4 million Californians potentially losing theirs.
• 📈 Two million Californians could see premium increases on their existing healthcare plans.
• 💸 The bill is projected to saddle future generations with unprecedented debt, ranging from $3.3 trillion to $3.9 trillion, to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Betrayal of Constituency and Trust

• 🤥 Newsom accused Valadao of betraying his constituency by potentially supporting a bill that contradicts President Trump's promise of no cuts to Medicaid.
• 🏥 Hospitals in Valadao's district and adjacent counties are at risk of closing, leading to denied access to care.
• 🍎 The bill's impacts are particularly severe for one of the poorest districts in the country, already devastated by climate change, with significant consequences for the agricultural community.
• 🚫 Newsom stated he has 'no faith' in Valadao's statements and believes he should resign if he supports the bill, calling it a betrayal of his own constituency to an extraordinary degree.
