Reps. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Jack Kingston (RGa.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), likely candidate Steve Daines (Mont.), and Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.) all voted Friday for a House continuing resolution to fund the government until mid-December while defunding ObamaCare.
Most of the GOP’s candidates running from outside Congress have embraced it as well.
North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis (R), the GOP frontrunner to face Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), said he supported the GOP’s brinkmanship because ObamaCare is a “mortal threat to our economy.”
“Republicans should do everything in our power to undo it. That means using every tool available to us including this CR fight,” he said in a statement to The Hill…
“There is no downside to coming out against defunding ObamaCare if you’re a Senate candidate,” said longtime GOP strategist Ron Bonjean.
