Overview
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke with many House Republicans by supporting an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, a position aligned with Senate Democrats.
- She said the lapse of subsidies would double her adult children's 2026 insurance premiums and strain families in her northwest Georgia district.
- ABC's The View praised her stance, with Whoopi Goldberg calling her a “voice of reason” and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin saying she agreed with Greene.
- On CNN, Wolf Blitzer lauded her as “a courageous politician” after she argued a shutdown would not help Republicans in the midterms and urged a focus on insurance costs.
- Greene also pressed for release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents and reported a surge in death threats, as repeated Senate votes on a stopgap funding bill have yet to produce an agreement.
