Former President Joe Biden criticized the passage of President Trump's spending bill on X.

"The Republican budget bill is not only reckless -- it's cruel. It slashes Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for our veterans and seniors," Biden wrote. "It jacks up energy bills. And it could trigger deep cuts to Medicare while driving up the deficit by $4 trillion. All of this to give a massive tax break to billionaires. Working people deserve better."
