Mike Johnson Had to Secretly Warn Trump His Big Plan Would Blow Up in His Face

The West Wing has postponed President Donald Trump’s plan to extend Obamacare subsidies after Speaker Mike Johnson privately warned House Republicans would revolt, according to reports.

Johnson, 53, told Trump’s aides in a call that the votes weren’t there for a two-year patch to the enhanced tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which more than 20 million rely on and is expiring Dec. 31, reported the Wall Street Journal.
