Former President Obama is trying to remain relevant as he urged Americans to call their representatives and demand that they vote against President Donald Trump’s megabill as the House nears voting on the bill.
“More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act. If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill,” Obama wrote on X.
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives has temporarily halted the progress on President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., began speaking in the chamber minutes before 5 a.m. and appears to be poised for hours more on Thursday
