Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The Hill (Oct. 25, 2026) reports Ciscomani was among House GOP moderates who objected to deep Medicaid cuts but 'voted for the bill anyway.'[2]
Supports. AZPM (Oct. 25, 2026) reports all six Arizona House Republicans, including Ciscomani, voted for Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' which it describes as including nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid and Medicare cuts.[3]
Supports. The Stated Record notes the Clerk recorded Ciscomani's Yea on House passage of H.R. 1 and his Aye on final concurrence, and that the law changes Medicaid financing rules.[4]
Context. AP (May 2025) reports Ciscomani told colleagues he would not support steep Medicaid cuts and signed a letter opposing reductions, and The Stated Record says he held his vote until a proposed FMAP cut was removed, so his stance was more nuanced than unconditional support.[1][4]
Context. Ciscomani has said the cuts would have been larger had he not pushed back, a defense that disputes the scale of the cuts but does not deny the vote.[2]
