Trump’s promise came as Sen. Charles E. Grassley insisted Congress would not repeal President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law.
By John Wagner and John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow Barb Berggoetz April 26 at 5:52 PM President Trump renewed his vow Friday to repeal the Affordable Care Act, seemingly putting him at odds with a top Republican senator who insisted that Congress will not scrap President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law.
During a meeting with constituents, Sen. Charles E. Grassley said he did not think the courts would declare the 2010 law unconstitutional nor would lawmakers try to repeal it. While Trump agreed earlier this month not to push for a comprehensive heath-care bill before next year’s elections, he said he still plans to run on the issue and that his campaign would present a plan to voters.
His remarks Friday came amid a wide-ranging address in which he not only promised to keep championing the Second Amendment, but also continued to air grievances about the special counsel’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and castigate Democrats for continuing to investigate him and his administration.
The recently released report of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election “in sweeping and systematic fashion.” “He’s talking to his people here,” said Jon Lucas, 49, of Monmouth, N.J., who voted for Trump and called him “a very aggressive president. He’s going to push up to the line.”
