Republicans Wonder Whether Trump Was Invested In Success Of Health Law

While President Donald Trump’s first major legislative push hurtled toward a major defeat, one of his top advisers, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, was photographed with his wife, Ivanka Trump, on a ski gondola in Aspen. Kushner may not have been the lead White House negotiator on the doomed healthcare bill. But the image of Trump’s top consigliere hitting the slopes at perhaps the most critical moment of his young presidency sent a message loud and clear: The White House wanted a win, but health care was not the dominant priority for Trump that it was for the Republican members of Congress who actually had to take a vote. According to Republican Hill staffers, in the weeks leading up to the doomed vote, Trump’s mind seemed to be elsewhere. The president made it clear at rallies over the past few weeks that healthcare was just something he needed to get through, in order to move on to the next thing.\n\n\n\nThis video was produced by YT Wochit Vote It using
