Rep. Andrew Clyde, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 9th district since 2021, shared his views on several pressing issues via social media on May 15, 2025. Born in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada in 1963 and now residing in Athens, Clyde has a diverse educational background with degrees from the University of Notre Dame and Bethel University.
In a post made at 17:23 UTC, Clyde criticized the Biden Administration’s handling of child welfare issues. He stated that “The federal government, under the Biden Administration, became the biggest facilitator for child abuse in the history of our country.” He referenced comments by @SecKennedy regarding efforts by HHS to improve accountability through better vetting of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) sponsors.
Later that day at 18:29 UTC, Clyde addressed healthcare policy challenges faced by Republicans. He posed a critical question about Medicaid expansion under Obamacare: “Republicans have a critical choice: Will we worsen Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid? Or will we fix its flaws to ensure Medicaid works for the vulnerable Americans it was originally intended to serve?”
In another post at 20:18 UTC, Clyde expressed concerns over proposed changes to Medicaid within the current budget reconciliation bill. He noted that “Under the current budget reconciliation bill, workforce requirements for able-bodied adults on Medicaid don’t kick in until 2029.” Furthermore, he criticized these provisions as being inadequate due to their susceptibility to “massive waivers,” describing this situation as “inexcusable.”
Andrew Clyde’s statements reflect ongoing debates over healthcare reform and governmental accountability.
