Overview

• At an Alta Refrigeration stop in Peachtree City, Vice President JD Vance promoted tax breaks on tips and overtime and a larger child tax credit while rebranding the new law as a working-class benefit.
• Vance blasted Sen. Jon Ossoff for opposing the measure and shared the stage with GOP hopefuls Buddy Carter, Mike Collins and Derek Dooley as Republicans preview 2026 attacks.
• Ossoff pointed to Evans Memorial Hospital’s warning of a roughly $3.3 million budget hole and potential ICU cuts, tying the strain to the law’s Medicaid and SNAP reductions.
• Defending the bill, Vance said cuts target undocumented immigrants and enforce work requirements, even as nonpartisan estimates from CBO and KFF project millions could lose coverage over time.
• Democratic strategist James Carville urged the party to relentlessly target Vance, seizing on his recent Cotswolds vacation and public booing episodes as polls show the law remains unpopular.
