Republicans Already Backtracking on Their Promise as Mike Johnson Refuses to Guarantee a Vote on Obamacare [View all]

House Speaker Mike Johnson is already backing away from a key Republican promise — holding a vote to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire soon. When pressed Monday, Johnson dodged the commitment entirely, saying instead the House would need “to find a consensus” before moving forward.

“We’re going to do in the House what we always do and that is a deliberative process. We’re going to have to find consensus on whatever, whatever the proposal is,” Johnson told CNN.

He went on to make it clear he wouldn’t guarantee anything, not even a timeline. “As you know, I do not guarantee the outcome of legislation or dates or deadlines or anything,” he added.
