A handful of House Republicans expressed concern with the bill's spending cuts. One of the top concerns is how the bill would impact social programs like Medicaid.

Despite concern, all but one House Republican voted to pass the GOP's budget resolution. The vote was 217 to 215. Thomas Massie, who represents Kentucky's 4th congressional district, was the only Republican who voted against the bill.

Every New York Republican in the House voted to pass the bill.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul released a statement late last night ripping the bill. Hochul believes the bill will take away health care for nearly two million New Yorkers, adding the bill helps bankroll billionaires.

"House Republicans just voted to rip health care away from up to 1.8 million New Yorkers—all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires," Hochul stated. "Every New York Congressmember who backed this should be ashamed."

Hochul also released that statement on X, formerly Twitter.
