Hoyer: Democrats will vote against spending bill if 'Trumpcare' vote held this week

Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer said Thursday that he would push Democrats to vote against a short-term spending bill aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown if House Republicans try to vote on a measure this week to repeal portions of Obamacare.

“If Republicans announce their intention to bring their harmful Trumpcare bill to the House floor tomorrow or Saturday, I will oppose a one-week Continuing Resolution and will advise House Democrats to oppose it as well,” said Hoyer, a congressman from Maryland.
