No surprises among AZ's Congressional delegation when voting for Cheeto's budget.

The Republican members all favored gutting Medicaid, SNAP, science and everything except bigotry/ICE.  Basically, take from the poor, give to the rich, and in an effort to distract the poor from their betrayal of the public trust, blame immigrants..

The Democratic members all voted no.

The motion passed, 218 - 214; two Rs (neither from AZ) voted against it but otherwise, all Rs voted in favor of the bill and all Ds voted against it.





The AZ delegation to the House:

D Ansari N

D Stanton N

R Biggs (AZ) Y

R Ciscomani Y

R Crane Y

R Gosar Y

R Hamadeh (AZ) Y

R Schweikert Y


In the Senate:

Gallego D N

Kelly D N

Note:  Other than Abe Hamadeh, as of this writing none of the Rs have a press release up crowing about their votes on Cheeto's bill.

The votes may help the Rs in any primary they may face in 2026 (I'm looking at you, Andy Biggs, candidate for governor in AZ).  In the 2026 general election?

Not so much.
