Rep. Andy Harris, part of the conservative Freedom Caucus that helped tank President Donald Trump‘s health care legislation, said Monday that Republicans only needed a little more time to reach an agreement and that the House should return to the issue later this year.
The 30-plus-member bloc of deficit hawks has found itself under fire from some in the GOP as congressional leaders and the White House assess what went wrong with their plan to repeal the Obamacare health insurance law — and begin to assign blame. That soul-searching could have implications for the rest of Trump’s legislative agenda, including tax reform, infrastructure investment and spending cuts.
