President Trump says Congress won’t vote on an Obamacare replacement after the 2020 election, pushing an issue which has surged back into the forefront and that Democrats were eager to make a campaign issue into the distant future.

Even as he punted in the short term, Trump predicted that making next year’s general election a referendum of sorts on Obamacare, without the risk of yet another failed healthcare reform vote on Capitol Hill, will help Republicans pick up additional seats in the House and Senate.
