Rep. Mike Flood Set to Host Town Hall in Bellevue
The Nebraska Republican was booed after defending the Big Beautiful Bill and Medicaid, as constituents pressed him on SNAP, voter ID and medical cannabis.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Mike Flood faced vocal opposition at a Bellevue town hall while defending President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' with attendees booing as he addressed cuts to disability benefits.
- The 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which Congress passed last year, slashed over $1 trillion in Medicaid funding over the next decade, prompting constituents to raise concerns about protecting Nebraska's most vulnerable residents.
- While defending the legislation, Flood claimed it 'protected' benefits for the most vulnerable, though attendees challenged him on SNAP and disability services. "We protected Medicaid in a common-sense, bipartisan way," Flood said.
- Beyond the bill, attendees questioned Flood on foreign policy, including the conflict in Israel, and raised concerns about unregulated Delta-8 and Delta-9 products affecting juveniles in Nebraska.
- Flood, who holds three town halls annually, has faced similar hostile crowds in Norfolk and Columbus, mirroring ongoing tensions in red Nebraska counties that supported Trump in the 2024 election.
