Nebraska Rep Admits to Unread Vote on “Big Beautiful Bill”
At a contentious town hall, Rep. Mike Flood admitted to not reading a provision in the “Big Beautiful Bill” before voting for it, a revelation that sparked outrage from constituents. The provision weakens judicial enforcement of court orders, a stance Flood now opposes. Despite his law degree and previous support for strong judicial authority, he attributed his vote to unawareness of the specific provision. Flood faced further criticism over various issues including Medicaid and SNAP cuts, defending his votes by focusing on impacts outside of Nebraska.
