New York Democrat Suozzi opposed bill despite agreeing with most
New York Representative Tom Suozzi, a Democrat, voted against the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" despite agreeing with most of its provisions. He cited concerns about tax cuts for the wealthy, Medicaid cuts, and the bill's impact on the deficit. Suozzi, representing Queens and Long Island, stated he supported border security and tax breaks for lower and middle-income earners within the bill. However, he opposed the bill's extension of 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy and its proposed Medicaid cuts. The bill, signed into law by President Trump, included tax cuts, increased energy production, and border security measures. Suozzi also expressed concern over the rise of socialist candidates and the need for Democrats to address economic affordability.
