💨 Abstract

Vice President JD Vance will visit northeastern Pennsylvania to promote President Trump's new budget-and-policy package. The legislation, signed into law earlier in July 2025, includes tax cuts, increased take-home pay, and stronger border security. However, it also cuts Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion, drawing criticism from Democrats. The trip aims to boost the measure's popularity before the 2026 midterm elections, where control of the House is at stake.
