Trump Threatens to Back 2018 Primary Challengers to Any GOP Members Against Health Bill

ByGuest Post

by Micah J. Fleck

According to the Washington Examiner:

President Trump has told Republican leaders that he’s prepared to play hardball with congressional conservatives to pass the GOP healthcare bill, including by supporting the 2018 primary challengers of any Republican who votes against the bill.

Sources told the Washington Examiner that Trump made that threat in a White House meeting on Tuesday with House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and other members of the House GOP whip team that helps line up votes.

Trump’s threat is one that could resonate. Most of the Republicans who oppose the GOP’s American Health Care Act represent ruby red districts that strongly support Trump and his agenda.

That’s nice. Looks like Obamacare-lite might still be a thing after all.
