Tennessee Democrat Golladay Cites Medicaid Cuts in House Challenge

Anna Golladay, the Democratic nominee challenging Republican Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District, is campaigning partly on opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Fleischmann supported and which made significant cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Golladay argues the district's residents face rising costs and that Fleischmann has voted against measures that would help constituents, including on health care. Fleischmann, who has held the seat since 2011 and won by wide margins, defends his voting record and has not agreed to a town hall. The race is a long-shot bid in a heavily Republican district, but it surfaces Medicaid cuts as a live campaign issue ahead of the midterm election.
