US: Jeffries Rules Out 1-Year Obamacare Extension Ahead Of 7th Govt Funding Vote
Laura Weiss at Punchbowl News reporting that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has called a potential one-year extension for enhanced Obamacare subsidies a “non-starter”. Comes after Punchbowl reported that Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) “has talked about doing a one-year clean extension and then a second year with reforms/phase-outs. But this is by no means a majority view among Senate Republicans, and certainly not House Republicans.”
- Jeffries' comments may cause some discomfort for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has declined to outline his specific demands for supplying votes to the Republican funding measure, and is likely searching for an offramp to the ongoing government shutdown.
- Schumer is cognizant that Republicans are highly unlikely to agree to Democrats’ central ask for a permanent extension to the ACA subsidies, with a short-term extension likely the best route to resolving the current standoff. Weiss notes that, “Several House Dems back a bipartisan bill for a 1-year extension. [Rep Tom] Suozzi [D-NY] is co-lead.”
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is expected to hold a seventh vote on the House-passed November 21 funding bill (and Democrat alternative) at some point this evening. Both bills are expected to fail again.
