Democrats’ priorities

Democrats led by Chuck Schumer plan to make extending enhanced health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act one of their priorities in 2027. These subsidies expired at the beginning of the year.

They also intend to repeal significant corporate tax cuts, as well as cuts to spending on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP. These changes were adopted as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Republicans later renamed the Working Families Tax Plan.

On election night, Schumer said that the new Democratic majority would focus on the high cost of living and investigate what he called corruption in the Trump administration. He also called the Trump administration the most corrupt in U.S. history — this is a political assessment by the Senate Democratic leader.
