Elizabeth Warren accuses GOP of hiding Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' bomb until after midterms
WASHINGTON, DC: Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) launched a fresh attack on President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill on its first anniversary, accusing Republicans of deliberately delaying some of the legislation's most controversial provisions until after the 2026 midterm elections.
In a video posted on X on Sunday, July 5, Warren argued that the timing was politically calculated and urged Democrats to keep highlighting the law through the upcoming election cycle and beyond.

"Here's your periodic reminder: The worst is yet to come from Trump's Big Ugly Bill," Warren wrote alongside the video, claiming Republicans wanted the bill's most significant consequences to take effect only after voters cast their ballots.
Elizabeth Warren targets delayed healthcare changes
In the nearly one-minute video, Warren argued that the structure of the legislation was designed to postpone Medicaid-related changes until after the November 2026 midterms.
"The way Republicans structured the bill made it so that the Medicaid cuts won't kick in until after the November midterm elections," she said.
According to Warren, Republicans were counting on voters to forget the legislation before its most significant healthcare provisions took effect, allowing Democrats to shoulder political blame once coverage changes reached millions of Americans.
She also criticized the measure as a massive redistribution of wealth, alleging that tax benefits for wealthy individuals and large corporations were financed through reductions in federal healthcare spending.
Calls for sustained campaign message
Warren claimed the legislation would remove healthcare coverage from millions of Americans while benefiting high-income taxpayers through tax reductions.
She specifically argued that Democrats should continue reminding voters about the bill throughout the 2026 midterm campaign and into the 2028 election cycle.
"We should be saying that every single day until the November election, and then every day on through 2028," Warren said, urging Democrats to hold Republicans accountable for the law.
Trump has consistently defended the One Big Beautiful Bill as a cornerstone of his domestic agenda, arguing it strengthens the economy through tax relief, spending reforms and broader fiscal changes.
Republicans have rejected Democratic criticism of the legislation, maintaining that its provisions are intended to promote economic growth while reforming government spending.
Warren's latest remarks add to what is expected to become a major campaign issue as both parties sharpen their messaging ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
