In July 2025, Hinson voted for, according to Congressional Quarterly, the “motion to concur in the Senate amendment to the bill that would permanently extend nearly $4 trillion in expiring individual and business tax cuts, create several new tax breaks and fund border and immigration enforcement and air traffic control upgrades. It would cut Medicaid and other safety net programs to partly offset the cost. Among other provisions, it would raise the statutory debt ceiling by $5 trillion and appropriate more than $448 billion in mandatory funding for Trump administration priorities and other needs, including $153 billion for defense, $89 billion for immigration enforcement, and $89.5 billion for border control and security. It also would increase the state and local tax deduction cap to $40,000 annually for five years for households making up to $500,000 a year until 2030, when it would permanently revert to $10,000.” The House passed the bill by a vote of 218 to 214.

[VIDEO] Hinson Claimed That The Only People Losing Access To Benefits From The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Were Undocumented Immigrants And “People Gaming The System.” “So you have people who are disabled, who qualify for Medicaid, who qualify for SNAP because they meet those requirements and they're working. So at the bare minimum, the only people who need to be worried about losing access to benefits are illegal immigrants and people who are gaming the system. And so when I go out to the communities and I talk about that, people are like, Yeah, it seems fair that if you are an able bodied working adult, that if you're taking that government benefit funded by taxpayers, that you should have a job.” [KTTC Interview, 8/30/25]; 250830_EGJ_2095

And again, to the the conservatives who want to pass even further cuts. Hey, I wish we could go further, too, but we have to build a consensus.” [Fox News Rundown, 6/4/25]
