HOW WE CHECKED THIS
Quotes were transcribed from the original video and cut at sentence boundaries, keeping his “nothing has been decided yet.” The votes were read on clerk.house.gov on 21 Oct 2026, and the Medicaid figure in CBO's cost estimate. Nothing here says why he voted the way he did; the timeline shows what happened, in order. Spot an error? Tell us, and we’ll correct it in public.
