Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to reopen negotiations on a bipartisan deal to fund Obamacare insurance payments after President Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan opposed it.
Schumer said the agreement reached by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., on Tuesday is a good deal and that they shouldn’t go back to the table. Alexander had tweeted that he would work to strengthen the agreement to win Trump’s support.
