Medicaid's Electoral Impact

This chapter examines how recent Medicaid changes could influence upcoming elections, with a specific focus on the Democratic messaging strategy. By drawing parallels between the 2018 and 2026 political landscapes, it highlights key issues affecting lower-income Americans, particularly in California's 22nd congressional district. The chapter also addresses the challenges Republican candidates may face in responding to these narratives, alongside discussions on the political dynamics emerging from natural disasters and the implications of Elon Musk's proposed political movement.
