Mike Johnson Warns Trump of Republican Opposition to ACA Subsidy Extension

Mike Johnson warned the White House that many House Republicans opposed extending ACA subsidies. Left-leaning outlets cast the warning as evidence that Johnson opposed an extension, rather than simply as a lack-of-votes assessment. Right-leaning outlets place it within Republican resistance to extending subsidies and broader criticism of the ACA, while one article also foregrounds Jeffries' blame of Johnson for a stalled plan.
