Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is ramping up her criticism of GOP leadership during the government shutdown by warning that Republicans could lose the House if they don’t keep their promise to decrease the cost of living.
“I can’t see into the future, but I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck,” the lawmaker told Semafor in an interview Monday.
Voters will “definitely be going into the midterms looking through the lens of their bank account,” she said.
Greene argued that health care “should be the No. 1 thing that we’re working on,” predicting it will be “one of the top issues” in the 2026 midterms.
Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies are due to expire at the end of the year, and if Republicans and Democrats don’t overcome their stalemate, premiums will more than double, on average, for over 20 million people.
