'The Hits Just Keep Coming': Gov. Wes Moore Slams Big Beautiful Bill Cuts

In an address on Monday, Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) spoke about the effects of the Big Beautiful Bill on Maryland residents.

Transcript

00:00The President signed his disastrous, big, beautiful bill into law on Friday.

00:06So I spent these past few days calling and also meeting with everyday Marylanders

00:12about the impacts of this bill and what it's going to mean for them.

00:16And here's what it means for you right here in Maryland.

00:20I've spoken with seniors in Montgomery County and also with veterans in Carroll County

00:26who now fear they could be part of the 250,000 Marylanders who could lose their health care.

00:34I've spoken with leaders of hospitals on the Eastern Shore and also other parts of rural Maryland

00:39who are receiving historic support from the state and from my administration

00:44but are now seeing cuts in the range of a quarter of a billion dollars from the federal government.

00:50And the hits just keep coming because the President is also cutting funding

00:55for the food assistance programs that over 270,000 Maryland children from Oakland to Ocean City rely on.

01:05So there is no state that can single-handedly absorb the impact when the federal government

01:10severs its relationship with the middle class and also can give the wealthiest a tax cut.

01:17But despite that, I have ordered every major state agency to review the bill

01:22and to come back to me this week on the impacts of this legislation.

01:27There's tough work ahead, Maryland.

01:29But listen, we do not fold under pressure. We win and we rise.

01:34Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted.

01:37Lots.

01:38Thanks again, folks.

01:58Thanks.
