House Democrats celebrated an unexpected Christmas gift on Thursday when it came to a vote on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, demanding Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) call up the bill for a vote on Friday.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-NY) discharge petition reached the 218 signatures needed to unlock his bill that extends the subsidies for three years when four Republicans defied leadership to sign on. Although the petition’s rules require waiting seven days before it can “ripen” and receive a vote, Democrats are insisting it should be brought up now.
