House Democrats had timed Tuesday’s unveiling of a sweeping bill to expand Obamacare to coincide with the healthcare law’s ninth birthday, but they didn’t expect a political gift from President Trump to land just hours before.

On Monday, Trump’s Department of Justice asked a federal appeals court to strike down all of Obamacare, a shift from its position that only parts of the law be struck down. The announcement allowed Democrats to change the subject to defending healthcare coverage after a report into Russian influence in the 2016 election by special counsel Robert Mueller did not result in charges against Trump or members of his administration.
