New Report Shows Trump's Tax Bill Will Drive Up Costs in Virginia

August 7, 2025

Winsome Earle-Sears on the law: “The bill as you know now does so many great things”

VIRGINIA - A new report from the Center for American Progress found that the Trump tax bill will drive up costs in Virginia including the cost of healthcare, food, and energy. Winsome Earle-Sears has praised the law saying it “does so many great things.” The law will also take healthcare away from 322,000 Virginians and force at least 6 rural hospitals to close.  
 
“As Winsome Earle-Sears cheers on Trump’s tax bill that will raise costs for Virginians and take away healthcare, Sears is showing Virginia she’ll always put Trump first – no matter how devastating it is for the Commonwealth. Sears owes Virginians answers about why she’s only focused on appeasing Trump and pushing his agenda” said DPVA Spokesperson Maggie Amjad.

  • Sears told the 322,000 Virginians being stripped of their health insurance and six rural hospitals facing closure as a result of the bill, “don’t panic.”
