Rep. Dan Crenshaw, serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 2nd district since 2019, shared several thoughts on recent legislative and political developments via social media. His tweets focused on healthcare policy and political debates.

On September 12, 2024, Rep. Crenshaw highlighted the progress of his bipartisan bill aimed at expanding state options for primary care in Medicaid. He stated, "My bipartisan bill to expand state options for primary care in Medicaid passed the House this spring. It’s time for the Senate to get this done — we know that primary care lowers health care costs and improves health care outcomes."

In a subsequent tweet on the same day, he emphasized the potential benefits of direct primary care in reducing healthcare spending related to chronic diseases. He mentioned, "Direct primary care can help us address our high levels of health care spending on things like chronic disease, diabetes, and heart disease by ensuring that everyone has access to excellent preventative care."

Later that evening, Rep. Crenshaw commented on a recent political debate involving President Trump and Vice President Harris. He remarked that no opinions were changed following the debate and suggested that President Trump should participate in another debate. Crenshaw noted, "This week’s debate is past us, and no minds were changed. President Trump can and should take on a second debate. Harris is all over the map on policy, but one fact remains unchanged:"
