Trump's announcement on Monday that Republicans won’t vote on an Obamacare alternative until after 2020 revealed the White House’s confusion on a top issue that is likely to play a huge role in the 2020 congressional and presidential elections
When it comes to President Donald Trump’s plans to replace Obamacare, one about face has followed another.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the president on Monday to inform him that with Nancy Pelosi running the House, there would be no GOP Senate vote on a substitute health plan for Obamacare as McConnell seeks to win reelection and bolster the chances of a handful of incumbents whose races will determine the majority.
Trump’s rare reversal acknowledged dual political realities: One is that House Democrats are extremely unlikely to pass any Republican-backed health care bill. Perhaps more important, health care is a toxic issue for Republicans, who have repeatedly failed to unite behind an Obamacare alternative that would necessarily be hugely complex and filled with difficult compromises.
