Reeling, cheering, still deciding: WA lawmakers react as Trump's megabill gets closer to passing

President Donald Trump's megabill carrying much of his domestic agenda — cutting taxes and the social safety net, restricting Medicaid eligibility, and strengthening border security — passed the Senate Tuesday morning.'

In Washington state, reactions ran the gamut.

"Pleased to see the big beautiful bill pass the Senate," Spokane Congressman Michael Baumgartner posted on X Tuesday, followed by an American flag emoji, as Baumgartner signs all his posts on X.

Baumgartner’s a Republican. His post praised the bill’s "robust military spending" and tax cuts.

His colleague in the middle of the state, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Sunnyside), will review the legislation before determining how to vote, his spokesperson said.

The rest of Washington’s delegation are Democrats who have criticized the bill for giving big tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, quickly ending tax incentives for renewable energy projects, and likely kicking millions off Medicaid.

Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Medina) seemed resolute, noting the bill passed the House the first time by just one vote.

"It only takes one to stop this billionaire bailout," DelBene posted on X.

Opposition has not entirely fallen along party lines.

A number of Republicans in the state legislature urged Washington's congressional delegation not to pass the Medicaid cuts in May. The Medicaid cuts those Republicans were worried about in the House version of the bill "only got worse" in the iteration that passed the Senate, said Cassie Sauer, CEO of the Washington State Hospital Association, who worked with Republicans on the letter.

Urban and rural, small and large, all hospitals stand to lose a lot if this version of the "big, beautiful bill" passes, Sauer said.

"Some of the services that we think will be cut most quickly could be things like urgent cares, primary care clinics," Sauer said. "Mental health services, labor and delivery services, ambulance services, potentially, in some communities where the hospital operates the ambulance service – those are all things that we think are really on the chopping block."
