President Trump to address nation on second-term achievements
Four centrist Republicans joined Democrats to force a House vote on extending ACA subsidies, which have lowered insurance costs for millions across the U.S.
- A Democratic-led discharge petition, signed by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, Rep. Robert Bresnahan, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie and Rep. Mike Lawler, will force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies.
- After leaders advanced a bill that omitted expiring tax credits, House Republican leaders faced centrist members siding with Democrats on the subsidy issue.
- The vote is likely to happen as soon as January and would still need the Senate's approval, while supporters say subsidies have lowered costs for millions of Americans and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said it's a chance to protect families from "outrageous health insurance premiums."
- House Speaker Mike Johnson defended his leadership against claims from other lawmakers and said, `I have not lost control of the House because there are, look, we have the smallest majority in U.S. history. These are not normal times.`
- The White House said the speech will highlight second-term achievements, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said `He is going to talk a lot about the accomplishments in the past 11 months` amid the bipartisan effort to extend ACA subsidies.
