A major White House signing ceremony was suddenly scrapped after Republicans revolted against President Biden’s plan to extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies for two more years. Chris dives into why House Speaker Mike Johnson said he didn’t have the votes, why conservatives felt the deal betrayed the very shutdown fight they just endured, and how both parties are now scrambling to delay, rebrand, or punt the issue entirely.
