Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman says he thinks Senate Majority Leader John Thune would engage in “sincere” talks about extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act once the government reopens.
The Democrat has also recently expressed support for the GOP “nuking” the Senate filibuster to pass a bill to reopen the government. During an interview, Fetterman said “keeping the government open is our core responsibility as a senator” and he added, “then we would negotiate to extend those tax credits.”
Fetterman also noted that he supports Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, but said he believes “Majority Leader Thune is an honorable guy” that “could have a sincere conversation about” the subsidy expansion.
