Sen. Kaine: ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Is Hurting People

In a sharp rebuke, Senator Tim Kaine tells Pulse Insider that the Republican-backed legislation often praised as the “Big Beautiful Bill” is hurting real people across the country.

Speaking from Capitol Hill, Kaine criticized the bill’s impact on working families, healthcare access, and state budgets.

Kaine’s comments add to growing Democratic concerns that the legislation—hailed by GOP leaders as a major policy win—is creating long-term damage, particularly for low-income communities. While Republicans tout the bill’s tax reforms and deregulation, Kaine argues that the human cost has been overlooked.

The Virginia senator urged a closer look at how the bill is affecting everyday Americans, calling for urgent revisions and increased accountability.
