Tension in House GOP. Eric Burlison, member of House Freedom Caucus, says the four swing-district Rs signing onto the discharge petition on ACA is a “betrayal.” “They’re stabbing the rest of the party in the back.” LaLota on Johnson’s handing of issue: “He needs to do better”
Murkowski on the political ramifications: “When people feel that they have counted on or waited for their Congress to act on issue that they feel is a huge priority, and they see no action, there's, there's consequence to that.”
House not expected to vote on the ACA subsidies bill until January — after they expire — and expected to leave town tomorrow for the year. Senate expected to leave tomorrow too, leaving the issue unresolved.
