Trump Owns GOP. They Fear Him. Democrats Force ACA Subsidy Vote To Defy Him.

Republicans froze under pressure from Donald Trump, forcing Democrats to take the extraordinary step of compelling a vote to protect Affordable Care Act subsidies.

In an interview, Rep. James Walkinshaw explained how fear of Donald Trump has paralyzed GOP lawmakers, even when health care coverage for millions was on the line. Democrats used a discharge petition to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies after Republicans refused to act. Walkinshaw described the maneuver as necessary to bypass leadership obstruction and expose how loyalty to Trump outweighed responsibility to constituents. The episode highlighted how power, fear, and political submission now dictate Republican decision-making.
