Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the principles of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were "popular," but also said tech billionaire Elon Musk, formerly the leader of DOGE, "was not."
"He announced this weekend that he is starting a new political party," CNN's Dana Bash said of Musk on "State of the Union." "Does that worry the Trump administration?"
"Look, the principles of DOGE were very popular. I think if you looked at the polling, Elon was not," Bessent responded. |

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the best way for people to get health insurance is to get a job while discussing the massive tax cut legislation, which dramatically upends health care, signed into law by President Trump.
During an appearance on CBS News's "Face The Nation," Hasset was asked about Americans' concerns that about 12 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
However, Hasset said that the CBO made a similar claim when the Trump administration aimed to add work requirement waivers to Obamacare in 2017, stating that the number of insured people increased instead.
