Report · The White House
President Trump signed an order on Oct. 19 that creates a women's health division at the National Institutes of Health and a White House task force. The order sets no funding level. Meanwhile, his budget asks Congress to cut medical research, and his administration nearly ended a major study of older women in 2025.
With the Nov. 3 midterm less than two weeks away, Democrats in at least six Senate races are attacking Republicans over the Medicaid cuts in the GOP's 2025 budget law and promising to restore the money. Republicans are mostly pointing to a $50 billion rural health fund, which ends in four years. The cuts are permanent.
President Trump went to Pendleton, S.C., on Wednesday to help Republican Sen. Darline Graham, whose race against Democrat Annie Andrews is now close in a state he won by nearly 18 points. A Republican seat that once looked safe could help decide control of the Senate.
The Democrats on the ballot Nov. 3. New faces marked "First run". Pick one and meet them.
